Crab Patties Recipe

Put the potatoes into a saucepan and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt, bring the pan up to the boil then let the potatoes simmer for about 15 minutes, or until easily pierced with the point of a knife. Drain the potatoes, return them to the pan and mash until smooth. Next, put the mashed potatoes into a large bowl, then add the crab, lime zest and juice, chopped coriander and salt and pepper, and mix until thoroughly combined.

Heat a frying pan until hot, then add the rapeseed oil. Working fairly quickly, form the crab mixture into small, evenly-sized ball shapes, then flatten them into patties and add them to the hot pan (you may need to cook them in batches, depending on how large you decide to make them). Fry the patties on both sides, until golden all over and thoroughly warmed through, then drain on kitchen paper. Serve warm in a bun with salad, chilli sauce for the fearless and some lemon wedges on the side.
