Fighting Crab Crunchy Potato #5FIX

5-Ingredient Fix Contest Entry. Movies that inspire recipes are just as fun as recipes that are inspired from movies. While watching 'Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon' one night trying to dream up a unique recipe, it hit me like a kung fu blow to the creative parts of my brain. Fighting Crab Crunchy Potato rose to the rank of black belt of taste buds with crab meat that packs a punch and potato hash that crisp as it cooks!

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 4
• Yields: 4 patties

Ingredients

• 2  cups  Simply Potatoes® Shredded Hash Browns
• 1  cup lump crabmeat (drained)
• 3  tablespoons sriracha sauce
• 2  tablespoons fresh ginger (minced)
• 3  stalks green onions (finely chopped, white or green parts)

Directions

1. In a medium mixing bowl, hand mix Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Brown, Lump Crab Meat, Fresh Ginger, Green Onion (leave small amount for garnish), and Sriracha (leave small amount for garnish). Set aside so flavors can infuse.
2. In a medium skillet, heat 1/4 cup of vegetable oil on medium heat.
3. Take 1/4 of mixture in hand and press/shape into a ball. Then press flat by using the palm of one hand while the other holds. Patty should be 1/2 inch thick with some shredded hash faring out.
4. Place gentle into hot oil. Cook on each side for about 2 minutes or browned. Take care flipping the patties so as not to break them.

7. Before serving, use extra Sriracha Chili Sauce and Green Onion to garnish.
