INGREDIENTS

  • Vegetables

    • ½ cup chopped bell pepper
    • 🧅 ½ cup chopped onion
    • ½ cup diced celery

  • Potatoes

    • 🥔 3 cold baked potatoes

  • Dairy

    • 🧈 ½ cup butter
    • 🥛 ½ cup milk
    • 🧀 ½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

  • Seafood

    • 1 pound imitation crabmeat, flaked and chopped

  • Herbs & Spices

    • ¼ cup chopped fresh dill
    • 🧂 1 pinch salt to taste

  • Other

    • 🥚 2 eggs, beaten
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil

STEPS

1

Split and mash the potatoes in a mixing bowl; set aside. The potato skins may be left on if desired.

2

Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat; cook and stir the bell pepper, onion, and celery in the melted butter until they begin to soften, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir the milk into the mixture; pour the mixture over the mashed potatoes and stir to combine. Allow the mixture to cool completely.

3

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

4

Add the crabmeat, Cheddar cheese, and dill to the potato mixture; season with salt. Lightly mix. Pour the beaten eggs into the mixture and stir to combine. Form the mixture into 24 small patties.

5

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook the patties in small batches in the skillet until completely browned and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking dish in the oven to keep hot until all are cooked. Serve hot.
