Preparation

Crab Cake Potato Pakoras

  1. Cook diced potatoes in generously salted boiling water until fork tender. Shock in ice water to stop cooking. Reserve.
  2. In a skillet, saute the onions, bell peppers, jalapeno, and tomatoes until softened and thickened into a paste such as sofrito. Allow as much moisture to cook off as possible. Cool and reserve.
  3. In a mixing bowl, add the potatoes, sofrito vegetables, crab meat, garbanzo bean flour, seasoning salt, parsley, and salt. Mix well, but gently, with a rubber spatula ensuring the crab meat retains its shape as much as possible.
  4. The mixture should be just wet enough to form into a ball. If needed, add water a tablespoon at a time to create a batter that will form a ball.
  5. Use a 1-ounce disher to scoop into balls and fry at 350F in fryer oil until golden brown for 4 minutes.
  6. Season with more Old Bay, if desired. Serve immediately.
