(Crab potato cake).

Back home, I used Dungeon crab meat for this recipe. Here, live Dungeon crab is not available, I substituted with canned crabmeat. I prefer Bumble Bee Fancy white crab meat because it doesn’t have strong odor. Karmourn Sor crab potato cake serves as appetizer (mahope-sar) or side dish.
