This crab cake recipe is delicious and so is the truffled potato salad served with it. A big thank you to the Westin St. Francis in San Francisco for sharing!!

I was anxious to try this as San Francisco is one of my favorite destinations! However, I could not find the recipe details for these crabcakes and the potato salad.Also the
