Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 cup Cooked crab meat
- 4 slices Prosciutto
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and shred them using a box grater. Place the shredded potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess water as possible.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded potatoes, cooked crab meat, and finely chopped green onions. Mix well.
Chop the prosciutto into small pieces and add it to the bowl, mixing thoroughly to distribute the flavors.
Form the mixture into 8 small, evenly sized patties.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the potato cakes in the skillet. Cook the cakes in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Cook each side of the potato cakes for 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside. Flip gently to avoid breaking the cakes.
Once cooked, transfer the potato cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional chopped green onions if desired. Enjoy!
