  • Oeuf
  • Chapelure panko
  • Huile de canola

Also needed

  • 15 ml (1 tbsp) fresh dill, chopped

Preparation

  1. In a bowl, mix the crab meat with the mashed potatoes, 1 egg, and the dill and lemon zest, if desired. Season with salt and pepper. Form 12 small cakes, using about 30 ml (2 tbsp) of the prepared ingredients for each. Set aside in a cool place.
  2. Prepare two bowls. Beat the remaining two eggs in the first bowl. Pour the panko breadcrumbs into the second bowl. Dip the mini crab cakes into the eggs, then coat them in the panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Heat the oil in a pot or deep fryer until it reaches 180°C (350°F) on a cooking thermometer. Fry the mini crab cakes for 3 to 4 minutes, until golden-brown. Drain them on paper towels.
