Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb lump crabmeat, drained and picked through
1 c mashed potatoes
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 large eggs
2 Tbsp prepared mustard
1/4 tsp ground red pepper
vegetable oil

Steps:

  • 1. FIrst, adjust your onion content depending on who you are serving. When I serve kids, I tend to reduce it....judge by the consistency of your cakes and diners.
  • 2. Combine the first six ingredients in a large bowl; stir well. Shape the crab mixture into 12 patties.
  • 3. Pour oil to a depth of 2 inches into a Dutch oven; heat to 375°. Fry patties for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden. Drain well.

These crab cakes are perfect for a summer party. They're light and refreshing, and they go great with a glass of white wine.

I've never made crab cakes before, but these were surprisingly easy to make. I'm definitely going to make them again.

I'm not sure what all the hype is about. These crab cakes were just average.

I thought these crab cakes were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

These crab cakes were a bit too spicy for my taste.

I followed the recipe exactly but my crab cakes fell apart when I tried to flip them. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I was disappointed with these crab cakes. They were bland and didn't have much flavor.

My crab cakes turned out a little dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

I've tried many crab cake recipes, but these are by far the best. They're crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a perfect amount of crab.
