| 1. | In a small bowl, gently fold together potatoes and crab. Make 6 croquette disks, shaping them firmly. |
| 2. | Make a breading station by placing flour on a plate, beaten eggs into a bowl, and then mix Panko and Parmesan on another plate. |
| 3. | Carefully dredge each croquette disk in flour, then eggs, then coat well with Panko-Parmesan mixture. |
| 4. | Heat a skillet to medium-high and add olive oil. Gently add 3 of the croquettes, cooking them until lightly browned on each side. Remove and place croquettes on a paper towel. Drizzle a little more olive oil into pan and add the final 3 croquettes, browning on each side. Remove and let croquettes slightly cool, then serve! |
