Preparation:
Place the potatoes in a medium saucepan; cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer for 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender; drain. Let cool; cover and chill.
Coarsely shred potatoes.
Combine the mayonnaise and next 6 ingredients (mayonnaise through egg whites) in a medium bowl; stir well. Add shredded potato, parsley, celery, onions, and crabmeat; stir well.
Divide mixture into 6 equal portions, shaping each into a 1/2-inch-thick patty. Place breadcrumbs in a shallow dish; dredge patties in breadcrumbs.
Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 3 patties, and cook 3 minutes; carefully turn over the patties, and cook for 3 minutes or until golden.
Remove patties from skillet; set aside, and keep warm. Repeat the procedure with the remaining oil and patties. Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1 crab cake).
Serving Ideas : Serve with lemon wedges. |
