Hello Monday morning! After 4 hours of sleep on Saturday, 4:30am came pretty early this morning. I dragged myself to teach spinning and felt 1,000 times better by the time class was done. Exercise does so many great things for your mind and body – it’s amazing.
When looking at our pictures of visiting Santa this weekend I realized I never shared my crab cake recipe from last week. Brady admitted these may be the best crab cakes I have ever made. When I asked him to guess the secret ingredient, he had no clue.
Mashed Potato Crab Cakes
- 1 can premium crab meat, picked free of shells and drained
- 1 cup prepared mashed potatoes (such as Simply Potatoes)
- 2 green onions (green and white parts), finely chopped
- 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper, green or red
- 1/4 cup light or low fat mayonnaise
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 1/4 lemon, juiced
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1-2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
- 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup EVOO for simmering
- In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients, except for the oil.
- Shape into patties and add a little more panko to crust if you would like.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over low-medium heat.
- When oil is hot, carefully place crab cakes, into pan.
- Leave crab cake to simmer for 4-5 minutes or until browned.
- Flip and cook 4-5 more minutes.
- Serve warm!
The mashed potatoes add a new dimension and texture to ordinary crab cakes!
Try them.
Thanks, Simply Potatoes.
crab cakes are my absolute favorite…and my husband hates them! (idk whats wrong with him sometimes!!) never thought about adding mashed potatoes in them, but i will be trying it the next time i make them…when hes out of town!
Seriously? You can’t even be bothered to make your own mashed potato and you’re posting recipes for crab cakes? I think I’ll restrict myself to only taking cooking advice from someone who isn’t incredibly lazy in the kitchen.
Thank you for your comment. This recipe was made for Simply Potatoes. They requested a recipe using their product they sent to me. Thanks for your feedback.
I hate crab, but my hubby loves crab cakes. We have crab meat we had frozen, that needs to be used up. So I’m going to try these tonight, hopefully I will enjoy them. I’m hoping the other flavors will do the trick.
Sincerely,
Amber
