Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, whisk together egg, butter, 3/4 teaspoon Old Bay, pimiento, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to combine. Flake crabmeat; stir into egg mixture to evenly coat. Pulse potato chips in a food processor to coarsely crush (or place in a large resealable bag and crush with a rolling pin); transfer to a wide, shallow dish, such as a pie dish.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of crab mixture, shape into compact cylinders with your hands, and transfer to dish with crushed chips. Turn to coat in chips, gently pressing cakes and molding with your hands to ensure chips adhere. Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets.
- Bake until crusts are golden and cakes are firm to the touch, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together mayonnaise, lemon juice, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon Old Bay; season with salt and pepper. Top each crab cake with a small dollop of mayo mixture and a piece of pimiento. Serve warm. (Cooked, cooled cakes can be frozen in an airtight container up to 1 month; reheat from frozen in a 425°F oven until warmed through, about 10 minutes.)
POTATO CHIPS
Steps:
- Preheat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a 4-quart cast iron Dutch oven. A deep-fry thermometer clipped to the Dutch oven should reach 300 degrees F.
- While the oil heats, line a large mixing bowl with paper towels.
- On a mandoline or with a sharp knife, cut 8 to 10 slices of the potato, widthwise, to about the thickness of a dime. Carefully add the slices 1 at a time to the hot oil. Using a spider, constantly move the slices in the hot oil for 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Remove the chips with the spider, allowing some of the excess oil to drain off. Move the finished chips to the lined bowl and shake to remove additional oil. Adjust the heat as necessary to maintain 300 degrees F and continue slicing and frying the potatoes in small batches. When the final batch has finished frying, sprinkle the chips with kosher salt, to taste, and shake the bowl to evenly distribute the salt. Remove the paper towels and serve.
