This crab cake recipe uses potatoes as a binder instead of bread crumbs. A very simple recipe that lets the crab shine through. Prep time does not include time to make mashed potatoes....recipe calls for leftover mashed potatoes.

How To Make virginia crab cakes

Step 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.

Step 2

Combine the first six ingredients in a large bowl; stir well. Shape the crab mixture into 12 patties.
Step 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.
