What You'll Need
- 1 pound imitation crabmeat, shredded
- 1 1/2 cup frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoon vegetable oil
What to Do
- In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients except the oil; mix well then form into 12 patties.

Notes
If you want to get more of the taste and texture of authentic crab cakes without breaking the bank, you can shred a small can of real crabmeat and mix it in, too! And if you like yours the traditional way with a little "heat," go ahead and add a few shakes of hot pepper sauce before forming the patties.
