Method

Step 1

Prepare the potatoes and allow to cool.

Step 2

Add the flour, egg, pepper and dill to the mashed potato and mix well.

Step 3

Stir in the spring onion and crab, combine together then form into small patties approx. 1 cm deep, then dust with flour.

Step 4

Add 1 tsp oil to a non-stick pan, fry for 1-2 minutes turning carefully a couple of times to ensure even cooking (about 6 minutes altogether) until lightly golden and firm, making sure the patties are cooked through.

Step 5

Meanwhile, for the salsa, blend the tomatoes with the tomato puree and stir in the green chilli.

Recipe tips

For flavour, the mixture of white and dark crab is ideal. Try making with salmon and/ or chopped prawns.
