Double Stacked Crab Cake Sandwiches With Avocado And Bacon Recipe

• 1 small russet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
• 1/2 pound fresh lump or jumbo lump crab meat
• 4 scallions, finely chopped
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
• Pinch red pepper flakes
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 4 English muffins, toasted
• 8 strips bacon
• 1 avocado, sliced

1. Cover the potato with water and bring to a simmer. Cook until tender, about 10 minutes, then drain and transfer to a large bowl. Mash with a potato masher. There should be about 1/2 cup mashed potato. Add crab meat, scallions, mayonnaise, breadcrumbs, red pepper flakes, and beaten egg. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
2. Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, divide crab mixture into 8 evenly sized patties. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and discard excess fat.
3. Wipe skillet clean and return to medium-high heat. Heat olive oil until shimmering. Add half of crab cakes to skillet. Gently press with a spatula to flatten them to the size of an English muffi.. Cook until the underside is browned, about 4 minutes, then carefully flip and cook until second side is browned, about 3 minutes longer. Remove and place on a plate. Keep warm in a 175u0b0F oven while you cook the second batch.
4. Divide half of the sliced avocado between split English muffins, followed by 1 crab cake, then 1 slice of bacon. Repeat with avocado, crab cake and bacon to get 2 layers. Serve immediately.
