Murphy's Crabby Cakes

My husband loves crab cakes, so much that he eats half the crabmeat before I can get it cooked. I don't have my recipe down to an exact science and every time I make them they're a little bit different; that's part of the fun in cooking.  I usually start with a large cup of lump crabmeat diced, one egg beaten, 1/4 cup diced onion (green onion works well), a few large dollops of mayo, few shakes garlic powder, palmful of parsley, salt and pepper to taste. The glue that holds it all together is the breadcrumbs, I gradually add them until the mixture starts to stick together. Form small patties in your hands, heat olive oil in a pan, and fry over medium heat until browned and crispy on both sides. Serve with cocktail or tartar sauce depending on your preference (or combine the two for something different) and enjoy!!
