Faux Crab Cakes

Holy flippin' delicious!  I was actually just playing around with some ingredients I had in my "plantry" and accidentally came up with something that resembled crab cakes.  Initially I was going to name them sweet potato cakes, but Faux Crab Cakes does this dish much more justice.

Usually recipes like this contain real mayonnaise and high saturated fats.  By limiting the amount of oil and using some sort of vegan mayo, you cut out a great percentage of those unnecessary fats and calories, but still maintain the integrity and taste of the dish. 


For this recipe:  play around with measurements to satisfy your taste buds.
