Instructions
Cover the potato with water and bring to a simmer. Cook until tender, about 10 minutes, then drain and transfer to a large bowl. Mash with a potato masher. There should be about 1/2 cup mashed potato.
Add crab meat, scallions, mayonnaise, breadcrumbs, red pepper flakes, and beaten egg. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, divide crab mixture into 8 evenly sized patties.
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and discard excess fat.
Wipe skillet clean and return to medium-high heat.
Heat olive oil until shimmering.
Add half of crab cakes to skillet. Gently press with a spatula to flatten them to the size of an English muffi.. Cook until the underside is browned, about 4 minutes, then carefully flip and cook until second side is browned, about 3 minutes longer.
Remove and place on a plate. Keep warm in a 175°F oven while you cook the second batch.
Divide half of the sliced avocado between split English muffins, followed by 1 crab cake, then 1 slice of bacon. Repeat with avocado, crab cake and bacon to get 2 layers.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Muscadet, Riesling
Shellfish on the menu? Try pairing with Chardonnay, Muscadet, and Riesling. Buttery chardonnay is great for scallops, shrimp, crab, and lobster, while muscadet is a classic pick for mussels, oysters, and clams. If you've got some spice in your shellfish, a semi-dry riesling can balance out the heat. The Tenuta di Nozzole Le Bruniche Chardonnay with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 12 dollars per bottle.

Tenuta di Nozzole Le Bruniche Chardonnay
Nozzole Le Bruniche is an elegant and distinctive expression of the Chardonnay variety, with a clean, fragrant bouquet of white and tropical fruits offset by slight nuances of toast. On the palate, it shows a superb balance of fruit ripeness underscored by a fresh acidity and structure of medium body, with an overall impression of delicate complexity. These are repeated in the clean, persistent finish, which ends on a subtle toasty note.
