Crab & Sweet Corn CakesAnson Smart

I just love cooking these little snacks as a starter. I like to think of them as the grown-up version of potato wedges with sweet chile and sour cream. Whoever came up with that combination deserves a medal. These cakes work well with shrimp, crayfish and even roast chicken but I especially like them with crabmeat. Enjoy!

Note:

Thai-style sweet chile sauce can be found in the Asian section of large supermarkets.
