Pick through the crab meat extremely well, leaving no shell.
Combine the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl and mix very well.
Add the crab last and just fold in trying not to break up lumps of crab.
Make a patty in your hand to check consistency. If it does not hold together add more mashed potato. If too thick add more water.
Adjust with salt & pepper as needed.
Pan fry on griddle or in a sauté pan. Lightly brown on both sides and serve with assorted sauces: roast garlic aioli, jalapeño jelly, lemon-aioli or beurre blanc.
Serve on Potato Roll.
Jalapeno Jelly
Bring all ingredients to a boil except pectin. Boil 10 minutes.
Add pectin and continue to cook on low heat for 1 minute. Will develop sauce consistency. Keep warm.
