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

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.

  • 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.
