"As They Should Be Crab Cakes" by Paula Deen

Ingredients...
8 oz container lump crab meat
2/3 c Panko bread crumbs
2 T minced red bell pepper
1 T minced onion
1 t Old Bay Seasoning
2 eggs, divided
1 T mayo
1 T fresh lemon juice
2 T butter
2 T olive oil

Directions...

Combine crab, 1/3 c Panko, bell pepper, onion, and seasonings.  Set aside.
Beat 1 egg, whisk in mayo and lemon juice.  Add mixture to crab and combine.  Form into patties.
Beat remaining egg.  Lightly brush patties with egg and dip into remaining bread crumbs to coat.
Heat butter and oil in skillet over medium heat.
Brown cakes for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. 

Roasted Potatoes

Ingredients...
2 lbs small red potatoes, halved
2 T olive oil
2 t paprika
1 1/2 t crushed Rosemary leaves
1 t minced garlic
1/2 t each salt and pepper

Direction...
Mix oil and spices in a large bowl.  Toss with potatoes. 
Roast in a 425* oven for 30 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender.  

Notes...
I wasn't able to find any fresh lump crab, so we used the canned variety.  They turned out fine, but I think they'd be even better with the fresh stuff.
If I'm in a hurry for making the potatoes, I'll steam them in the microwave for a couple of minutes before I put them in the oven.  It can cut out half the time and they still taste roasted.

Enjoy-
