A delightful twist on classic potato cakes, combining the rich flavors of crab and prosciutto with the freshness of green onions.
Peel and grate the potatoes into a mixing bowl.
Grating the potatoes ensures a finer texture for the cakes.
Add the lump crabmeat, chopped prosciutto, finely sliced green onions, and the egg to the bowl.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the crabmeat too much.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, then mix well to combine.
Taste the mixture before forming patties to adjust seasoning if needed.
Form the mixture into equal-sized patties.
Use slightly wet hands to prevent sticking.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding the patties for a crisp exterior.
Cook the patties for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
Serve the potato cakes warm with your choice of dipping sauce or salad.
Garnish with additional green onions for a fresh touch.
