Crab Cakes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Mixture

    In a large bowl, gently combine the jumbo lump crab meat, roasted potatoes, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper. Be careful not to break the crab meat too much.

  2. 2

    Form the Cakes

    Using your hands, form the mixture into patties about 3 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Chill the Cakes

    Refrigerate the crab cakes for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape while cooking.

  4. 4

    Cook the Cakes

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the crab cakes and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve hot with caper aioli on the side for dipping.
