Crab Cakes with Garlic Herb Roasted Potato Slices and Italian Chop Salad

A delicious and quick dinner. The thing that takes the longest is baking the potatoes. Have a family chopping party to cut all the ingredients for the salad.

Ingredients for the Crab Cakes:

• 2 cans (6 ounces each) of white crab meat
• 1 stalk of celery, finely chopped
• ¼ cup chopped green onions
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup of Italian style bread crumbs
• 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon of dry mustard
• ¼ teaspoon paprika
• Lemon wedges

Ingredients for the Garlic Herb Roasted Potato Slices:

• 4 potatoes, sliced as thin as you can
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
• 1 tablespoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon pepper
• ¼ cup of grated parmesan cheese

Ingredients for the Italian Chop Salad:

• ½ head of lettuce, chopped
• 1 cup of spinach, chopped
• ¼ cup of Italian dressing
• ½ cup of mozzarella cheese, grated or cut into small chunks
• 1 tomato, chopped
• 1 stalk of celery, chopped
• ½ cup of red onion, chopped
• Optional: ¼ cup of chopped pepperoni

Mix the lettuce and spinach together and toss with the Italian dressing.
Place in a salad bowl and top with the cheese, then celery, onion, and tomato.
Place in the refrigerator until dinner is ready.
Toss the sliced potatoes in the olive oil and seasoning.
Top with the parmesan cheese.
Spread into a layer on a baking sheet.

Cook the chopped celery and onions until tender. Place in a bowl.
Mix the bread crumbs, crab meat, spices, and eggs together.
Make 4 patties, and cook in the pan 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
