Phoney Crab Cakes image

This is a reasonable (cost wise), tasty meal using up left over Mashed Potatoes. I like a bit more zip to the crab cakes so I served them with a sweet Chili sauce on the side. I only used 2 tbsp of lite Olive oil on the pan to fry them but if you want a crunchy outside to the patties coat them with Panko or Potato flakes or seasoned bread crumbs and use a bit more oil in the pan. These crab cakes could be made into small balls and served as an appetizer using a hot sauce as a dip. I just threw this recipe together from left overs but decided to post the recipe cause we did enjoy the recipe

I was really excited to try these crab cakes, but I was disappointed. They were a bit dry and didn't have much flavor. I think I will stick to my old crab cake recipe.

These crab cakes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some more Old Bay seasoning next time. Otherwise, they were easy to make and had a good texture.

I've made these crab cakes several times now and they are always a hit. They are so easy to make and always come out perfectly. I love that they are a healthier alternative to traditional crab cakes, but they still have all the flavor.

These crab cakes were amazing! I loved the combination of flavors and textures. The crab was tender and flaky, and the bread crumbs and vegetables added a nice crunch. I will definitely be making these again.
