Cook on 1 side until firm, about 2 minutes, and then flip and cook for about 1 more minute. Cook in batches as necessary. Serve hot with mustard sauce.

Steps:
- Boil wine and shallots in heavy medium saucepan until mixture is reduced to 1/2 cup, about 10 minutes. Add cream and boil until liquid is reduced to sauce consistency, about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Mix crabmeat, 1/2 cup crushed potato chips, breadcrumbs and next 7 ingredients in large bowl until well blended. Using 1/4 cupful crab mixture for each cake, form mixture into sixteen 2 1/2-inch-diameter cakes. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Cover sauce and crab cakes separately and refrigerate. Rewarm sauce over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, before serving.) Place remaining potato chips in shallow dish. Press each cake into chips, turning to coat evenly.

- Don't overcook the crab cakes: Overcooked crab cakes will be dry and tough. Cook them just until they are heated through.
- Serve the crab cakes immediately: Crab cakes are best served hot and fresh out of the pan.
- Garnish the crab cakes with fresh herbs: Chopped parsley, chives, or dill add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
- Experiment with different types of mustard: Dijon mustard is a classic choice, but you can also try other types of mustard, such as whole-grain mustard or horseradish mustard.

This creamy mustard sauce is the perfect accompaniment to crab cakes. It is rich, flavorful, and easy to make. Whether you are serving crab cakes for a special occasion or a casual weeknight dinner, this sauce is sure to impress.
