Mini Baked Potato Chip Crab Cakes Recipes

MINI BAKED POTATO CHIP CRAB CAKES

Steps:

• If you are making the crackers, you can make those up to a few days in advance if you store in an airtight container. In a medium size mixing bowl, stir together the flour and grated cheese. 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).
• Bake at 400°F for 12-15 minutes. Allow to cool before using or storing.
• For the crab cakes, finely chop the jalapeño (removing the seeds) and celery. In a large mixing bowl, flake the imitation crab meat after draining. Then add the jalapeño, celery, 2 tablespoons of chives, dijon, seafood seasoning, and eggs. Stir well. Then stir in the crushed potato chips.
• Lightly butter, or spray with non-stick cooking spray, a mini muffin pan. Press the crab cake mixture into the pan. Bake at 400°F for 18-20 minutes.
• Allow to cool slightly and then you can remove the crab cakes from the pan. Serve on a serving tray or on top of the crackers garnished with more chopped chives and a lemon wedge.
