Crab Cakes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Crab Cakes

    Chill the patties in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Crab Cakes

    In a skillet over medium heat, add oil and cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Spicy Slaw

    In a separate bowl, mix shredded cabbage, sliced Fresno chiles, grated carrot, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Toss well and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Fries

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potato fries in batches until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from oil and season with salt.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Toast brioche buns lightly. Place a crab cake on the bottom half of each bun, top with spicy slaw, and cover with the top half of the bun.
