Steps:
- Split and mash the potatoes in a mixing bowl; set aside. The potato skins may be left on if desired.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat; cook and stir the bell pepper, onion, and celery in the melted butter until they begin to soften, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir the milk into the mixture; pour the mixture over the mashed potatoes and stir to combine. The consistency should not be too runny. Allow the mixture to cool completely.
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Add the crabmeat, Cheddar cheese, and dill to the potato mixture; season with salt. Lightly mix. Pour the beaten eggs into the mixture and stir to combine. If the mixture is too thin, bread crumbs or flour can be added to make more firm. Form the mixture into 24 small patties.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook the patties in small batches in the skillet until completely browned and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Do not flip until bottom is fully browned and crisp; this ensures the patties will not break. Transfer to a baking dish in the oven to keep hot until all are cooked. Serve hot.

ZUCCHINI CAKES "CRAB CAKES" FOR THE POOR MAN'S BUDGET
I was looking for another way to use the surplus of zucchini from our garden, when I came across this recipe. I was surprised at how much they actually taste like crab cakes. Even my husband, who doesn't like zucchini, raved about this dish!

Steps:
- Spread grated zucchini on a kitchen towel and roll up. Twist towel to wring out as much liquid as possible. If you fail to do this, your cakes will be too wet.
- In a large bowl, combine zucchini and butter. Stir in bread crumbs, onion, Old Bay, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine.
- Coat your hands in oil, and shape mixture into patties. Coat each patty in flour. In skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot. Fry patties until golden brown on both sides. (About 3-5 min per side).

These are wonderful to have on hand for game days or when you have unexpected guests. They freeze wonderfully and the recipe is easy to double. If you can't find the Old English, Kahuna sharp cheese spread can be substituted.

This is a good recipe for those allergic to seafood like my husband is when our family loves seafood, but also a good way to get some veggie's in and you really can't tell too much that it isn't crab meat.

POOR MANS CRABS
Being from Maryland and now living in Georgia, I have truely missed good seafood. I LOVE this recipe; it came from my husband who remembered eating this at a friend's house many years ago and recreated his own version of it until he found perfection. This is a regular meal at our house. What is great about this recipe...

Steps:
- 1. Trim up the chicken then cut into medium size chunks
- 2. Cut out bad spots of potatoes and cut them into medium size chunks. (You may leave the skin on)
- 3. Chop onion into large chunks.
- 4. In the bottom of your steamer, put a cup of distilled white vinegar and fill the rest with water.
- 5. If you are using a double steamer place the chicken seasoned with Old Bay on the bottom. If you put it on the top it will drip onto your veggies. Also you do not need to season with as much Old Bay because some of the top steamer seasoning will drip down it.
- 6. Place the onion, corn and potatoes on the top steamer. Season with Old Bay and butter.
- 7. Steam until chicken is done and potatoes are soft. It is usually about an hour.
- 8. Top off with more butter if desired or serve with melted butter on the side for dipping.
