1. Place the potatoes in a medium saucepan; cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer for 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender; drain. Let cool; cover and chill.
2. Coarsely shred potatoes.
3. Combine the mayonnaise and next 6 ingredients (mayonnaise through egg whites) in a medium bowl; stir well. Add shredded potato, parsley, celery, onions, and crabmeat; stir well.
4. Divide mixture into 6 equal portions, shaping each into a 1/2-inch-thick patty. Place breadcrumbs in a shallow dish; dredge patties in breadcrumbs.
