Easy crab cakes
Whether you call them crab cakes or crab croquettes, use leftover mashed potatoes and delicious lump crab for this mouth-watering, easy crab cake appetizer or side. If you don’t have crab on hand, use canned salmon or tuna.
Servings: 3 or 6
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Total time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
- 1½ cups mashed potatoes
- 1 (8-ounce) can lump crab meat
- ½ cup flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese
- Olive oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl, gently fold together potatoes and crab. Make 6 croquette disks, shaping them firmly.
- Make a breading station by placing in a line the flour on a plate, beaten eggs in a bowl, and a mix of the panko and Parmesan on another plate.
- Carefully dredge each croquette disk in flour, then eggs, then coat well with panko-Parmesan mixture.
- Heat a skillet to medium-high and add olive oil. Gently add 3 of the croquettes, cooking them until lightly browned on each side. Remove croquettes and place on a paper towel. Drizzle a little more olive oil into the pan and add the final 3 croquettes, browning on each side. Remove and let croquettes slightly cool, then serve.
