Great-granny Alice's Maryland Crab Cakes

Ingredients

• 1 pound Maryland-caught blue crab meat (steamed)
• 1 egg

• 2 tbsp (heaping) mayonnaise, or more
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp black pepper

Directions

Mix all ingredients except crab meat and instant potatoes. Add crab meat and fold into mixture. Add instant mashed potatoes a little at a time until the crab cakes are not runny, but not too dry. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or as long as overnight.
