CRAB-STUFFED POTATOES

Steps:

• Bake potatoes at 425° for 45-55 minutes or until tender. When cool enough to handle, halve potatoes lengthwise. Carefully scoop out pulp into a bowl, leaving a thin shell. Set shells aside. Beat or mash potato pulp with butter, cream, salt and pepper until smooth. Using a fork, stir in onions or chives and cheese. Gently mix in crab. Stuff shells. Sprinkle with paprika. Return to the oven for 15 minutes or until heated through.

ARTICHOKE AND CRAB STUFFED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Wash and prick the potatoes and bake for 45 - 55 minutes, or until very tender and baked through. Remove from oven and let sit 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place the cream cheese, milk, mayonnaise, green onions, jalapeños and garlic in a mixing bowl and mix with a whip attachment until combined.
• After potatoes have cooled 10 minutes, cut the top off the potato (lengthwise) and scoop out the hot potato with a spoon, leaving a 1/2-inch shell. Add the potato pulp to the mixing bowl and mix with whip attachment until well mixed. Stir in the 3/4 cup parmesan cheese, crab meat and artichokes.
• Scoop the mixture back into the potato shells, piling up and dividing evenly. Sprinkle with extra parmesan for a pretty top.
• Place potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for about 20 - 25 minutes or until golden and heated through.

CRAB AND CAVIAR TWICE-BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Pierce the potatoes with a fork a few times on all sides. Place on a baking sheet and bake until fork-tender, 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minutes. Let cool slightly. (Leave the oven on.)
• Meanwhile, melt 4 tablespoons butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook until softened but not browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small bowl in the microwave.
• Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, use a paring knife to make a slit lengthwise down the top of each, cutting about halfway through. Make another small slit across the first to make a "t". Gently push the sides of the potato with your hands to loosen the filling. Scoop out the flesh to a large bowl with a spoon or melon baller, leaving a 1/4 inch of flesh in the skins to preserve the shape of the potatoes. Return the potato skins to the baking sheet.
• Mash the potato flesh until smooth. Add the shallot butter mixture, creme fraiche, chives and lemon zest, then season with salt and pepper. Gently fold in the crabmeat.
• Spoon the mixture evenly into the potato skins. Drizzle with the remaining melted butter. Bake until browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Top each potato with a dollop of creme fraiche, a sprinkle of chives and a spoonful of caviar. Serve immediately.
