Ingredients:  
1 can crab meat (120g)
pinch black pepper
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 cup bread crumbs
1 lb sweet potato

1/4 teaspoon thyme
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1 tablespoon chopped red onion
1 scallion diced
1 cup veg oil for frying
1/2 scotch bonnet pepper (diced finely) – no seeds

Directions:
CRAB WISDOM: You can use 1 egg to bind everything if you find the batter is overly wet or soggy. Remember to drain and squeeze the crab to get rid of water and please don’t don’t use imitation crab nor expensive lump crab.

.
Peel and cut the sweet potatoes in half, then boil in salted water until tender. To know if they are fully cooked, pierce with a pairing knife and if there’s no resistance it means they’re cooked. Drain and mash in a deep bowl. As the mashed sweet potato cools, you can finely dice/chop the other ingredients.

It should be cool now, so go in with all the ingredients, except the crab meat and bread crumbs… mix well.

Fold in the crab meat, then chill in the fridge for about 20 minutes so everything firms up a bit. Now roll into balls (golf ball size), after-which you’ll need to roll the balls in the bread crumbs, pressing down gently so the crumbs hold on.

Heat the vegetable oil on medium (olive oil will give it a good flavor as well) in a wide pan, then press down on each crab cake ball to form a sort of patty.

All you have to do now is fry them on each side until golden brown, drain on paper towels and enjoy!
