Maryland Crab Cakes

These Maryland crab cakes are authentic. Growing up near the Chesapeake Bay, you learn that crabs are as valuable as gold. My mom made crab cakes every Friday in the summer, but I like my recipe just a tad better. Don't tell Mom.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 1 pound crabmeat

  • 2 slices white bread, crusts trimmed

  • 1 large egg, beaten

  • 1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning TM

  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon-style prepared mustard

  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

  • 2 tablespoons butter

Directions

  1. Place crab meat in a large bowl and remove any remaining shell pieces.

  2. Break bread into small pieces and add to crab meat. Add beaten egg, Old Bay seasoning, mayonnaise, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce to the bowl. Mix by hand to avoid overworking crab meat; you want to keep the lumps of meat as much as possible. Form into 6 patties.

Norwegian Potato Klub

Norwegian Potato Klub

Norwegian klub is a dish my mother made when we were growing up. I like to have it topped with bacon grease, and my wife likes them brushed with butter and sprinkled with sugar. Sliced and fried the next day these are a hearty breakfast meal. If you have a grinder, you may grind the potatoes instead of grating.

Yummy combination of beef, pork, and sausage topped with caramelized tomato soup. My favorite meatloaf recipe by far. Worth every ingredient!
