These were inspired by a Delia Smith recipe but hers are friend and mine are not. They would be wonderful fried but not suitable for a fasting day and that’s when we had them

Make sure that the potatoes are waxy you want them to hold their shape and not go mushy. Peel the potatoes and then grate. Do not wash you want the starch to remain in them. Drain well and then squeeze until as much moisture as possibly is removed. Salt slightly to help with this. When well drained add to a bowl.

Drain the crabmeat very well and add this, your herbs and seasonings and the finely chopped spring onion to the bowl and gently.

Pre-heat the oven to 200c and spritz a non-stick bun tin with Frylight place a tablespoon of the mix into each one and then spray with frylight. This makes 12 small crabcakes.

Bake for 30 minutes until crisp and golden
