Mini Baked Potato Chip Crab Cakes Food

POTATO CHIP CRAB CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
• Put the chips into a zippered plastic bag and crush them into fine crumbs (I use a rolling pin to do this, but whatever potato chip crushing method works best for you is fine!
• Pour the crushed chips into a bowl and add the crab, tartar sauce, mustard, Old Bay and egg. Stir it all up until everything is combined.
• Form the crab mixture into 8 thick patties, packing them as tightly as you can. Place them on the baking sheet and drizzle each patty with a little olive oil.
• Bake for about 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve at once with lemon wedges on the side (we like ours with a drizzle of Sriracha sauce!)

POTATO-CHIP-AND-PIMIENTO MINI CRAB CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, whisk together egg, butter, 3/4 teaspoon Old Bay, pimiento, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to combine. Flake crabmeat; stir into egg mixture to evenly coat. Pulse potato chips in a food processor to coarsely crush (or place in a large resealable bag and crush with a rolling pin); transfer to a wide, shallow dish, such as a pie dish.
• Scoop rounded tablespoons of crab mixture, shape into compact cylinders with your hands, and transfer to dish with crushed chips. Turn to coat in chips, gently pressing cakes and molding with your hands to ensure chips adhere. Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets.
• Bake until crusts are golden and cakes are firm to the touch, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together mayonnaise, lemon juice, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon Old Bay; season with salt and pepper. Top each crab cake with a small dollop of mayo mixture and a piece of pimiento. Serve warm. (Cooked, cooled cakes can be frozen in an airtight container up to 1 month; reheat from frozen in a 425°F oven until warmed through, about 10 minutes.)

MINI CRAB CAKES WITH MUSTARD CREME FRAICHE

Steps:

• For the mustard creme fraiche: Mix together the creme fraiche, whole-grain mustard, Dijon and seafood seasoning in a small bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• For the mini crab cakes: Pulse the bread in a food processor to make coarse breadcrumbs; transfer to a large bowl. Add the crab, mayonnaise, lemon zest, Worcestershire, seafood seasoning, cayenne, scallions, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Mix gently to combine. Add the egg and mix gently but thoroughly. Roll the mixture into about 15 golf ball-sized rounds, then arrange them on a foil-lined baking sheet and flatten them slightly. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes to set.
• Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the crab cakes, in batches if necessary, turning once, until golden brown on both sides and heated through, 3 to 4 minutes per side.

MINI BAKED POTATO CHIP CRAB CAKES

Steps:

Grate the cold butter into the bowl and use a fork to mash until the mixture is like small pebbles (similar to making pie crust).
• In a small bowl, stir together the milk and red food dye. Pour the milk into the mixing bowl, with the flour/butter mixture. Stir until a dough ball begins to form. You may need to use your (clean) hands to mix some. Roll out and use a crab shaped cookie cutter to cut the crackers (or you can do a simple shape like squares or triangles if you prefer).
