Crab/Clam Cake Sliders With Easy Lemon Aioli

• 34 cup mayonnaise, divided (I used an olive-oil based mayonnaise)
• 1 lemon, juice and zest of
• 1 garlic clove, finely minced
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 12 teaspoon dried parsley (replaced 1/4 teaspoon crushed dried thyme or you can use fresh parsley)
• 1 lb lump crabmeat (confession ( cheated and used 4 cans of Snow's minced clams, drained)
• 1 cup crushed kettle-cooked potato chips (read intro)
• 2 -3 tablespoons yellow onions, finely minced (optional, my addition)
• 14-13 cup minced celery (include some leaves)
• 2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning (see Old Bay Seasoning #2, this can be omitted read my *NOTE below.)
• 2 eggs
• 10 slider buns
• lettuce (optional)

1. *NOTE: Depending on the flavor of the potato chips you choose, the Old Bay Seasoning can be omitted.
2. For example, the first time I tried this recipe I tested 'Fully Loaded' Kettle Chips and I wanted those flavors highlighted.
3. Also, if desired the cakes can be pan fried in either a little bit of oil or a combination of oil and butter.
4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together *1/2 cup* of the mayonnaise, the lemon zest and juice, garlic, Dijon mustard and parsley.
7. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
8. In a medium bowl, combine the crab meat (canned or fresh), potato chips, celery, Old Bay seasoning, the remaining 1/4 cup of the mayonnaise, and the eggs.
9. Cover bowl and refrigerate mixture for at least 30 minutes.
10. Tip: Chilling is important because it firms up the mixture and makes it much easier to shape into patties.
11. Mix well, then form into 10 patties, each about 2 1/2 inches across and 1/2 inch thick.
12. Arrange the patties on the prepared baking sheet.
13. Bake the crab cakes for approximately 25 minutes rotating the pan as needed for even browning.
14. Keep a close eye on them to avoid burning.
15. Serve the crab cakes on buns with the aioli condiment.
16. Add lettuce, if desired.
17. Reminder: Cooking time shown above is for pan frying.
