THE BEST CRAB CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• For the crab cakes: Gently fold together the crabmeat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, chives, Dijon mustard, seafood seasoning, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper and the juice and zest of one lemon in a large bowl. Refrigerate the crab mixture for 15 minutes to firm up; this allows the breadcrumbs to absorb some of the liquid, helping the crab cakes bind together.
• Meanwhile, make the tartar sauce: Combine the mayonnaise, dill pickles, capers, chives, zest and juice of 1 lemon in a medium bowl and mix until combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Scoop heaping half cups of the crab mixture and pat into 2 1/2-inch wide patties. Lightly press them together so they do not fall apart while cooking. You should have 8 patties.
• Heat 3 tablespoons unsalted butter and 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the crab cakes to the pan and cook until golden, about 2 minutes, then flip using a flat metal spatula. Continue to cook until lightly golden, about 1 1/2 minutes then transfer the pan to the oven. Cook until the crab cakes are completely heated through, about 10 minutes.
• Serve the crab cakes with the tartar sauce and lemon wedges.

DILLED POTATO CRAB CAKES

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a saucepan, add water to cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain well, cool and then peel. Using the coarsest holes on a four-sided grater, shred the potatoes into a mixing bowl.
• Cut the scallions into fine julienne strips about one inch long. Add to the potatoes. Add the crab meat, dill seed, celery seed and cayenne and toss together with a fork. Add the egg and mayonnaise and mix well. Season liberally with salt and pepper.
• Heat half the butter and half the oil in a skillet until sizzling. Form the potato mixture into small patties, about three inches across. Carefully lay half the patties into the skillet and fry over medium heat until light brown, three to five minutes on each side. Repeat with the remaining butter, oil and potato cakes. Serve hot, with a little sour cream on top.
