Ingredients

  • Peanut oil, for frying

Tartar Sauce:

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 white onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup dill pickle chips, chopped
  • Fresh lemon juice
  • Pinch House Seasoning, recipe follows
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Crab Balls:

  • 2 slices bread, crust removed and processed into crumbs
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise

  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • 1 teaspoon House Seasoning, recipe follows
  • 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
  • 1 egg, beaten

Directions

In a heavy, deep pot, preheat peanut oil to 365 degrees F.

    I made these for Christmas day appetizer and they got rave reviews. I actually only used 1 slice of bread and they came out just perfect.

    How would I reheat this? I'm guessing oven. Anyone have any suggestions?
