PERFECT CRISPY POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a large saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the potato cubes and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Saute stirring frequently, for 5 minutes. Turn the heat up to high, add the water, stir, and cover the pan with a lid. Steam the potatoes until the water evaporates, about 3 or 4 more minutes. (Every 1 to 2 minutes, open the lid long enough to stir the potatoes so they don't stick.) Lower the heat to medium, and saute another 1 to 2 minutes until all traces of water are gone. Toss in the butter and stir to coat the potatoes. Spread the potatoes out on a baking sheet. Bake in the oven until the potatoes are crisp and browned to your liking, about 15 to 25 minutes depending on how dark you want them. Transfer the potatoes to a serving bowl and serve.

"CRABBY" POTATO CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Spread the potato chips onto a baking sheet or ovenproof serving platter and bake to warm the chips, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle a light layer of the crab boil seasoning evenly over the chips. Serve warm.

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.

VERY CRABBY POTATOES

Steps:

• Wash and bake the potatoes.
• Let cool slightly, cut lengthwise in half. Scoop out most of the inside of the potatoes, leaving about 1/4 inch thick potato walls to form a "bowl". Set the potato "bowls" aside.
• Mash the potato that you scooped out
• saute the onions and green onions in the butter in a frying pan. Cook about 10 - 15 minutes or until the onion is done. At this point add the mushrooms and cook 3 minutes before adding the crabmeat and shrimp. Add some ground black pepper to taste.
• Add the vermouth, bring to a boil, stirring constantly until all the liquid is gone.
• Stir in the dairy products, using half of the cheese. Pour this into the mashed potato bowl. Stir well. If you think you need more ground black pepper and half and half, add it now. Stir well again.
• Put this filling into the reserved potato "bowls", place them on baking sheet. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake at 375 degrees until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

• Pour 1 cup melted butter in a 9x13 inch casserole dish. Spread frozen hash browns in the bottom of the dish.
• In a small bowl combine chicken soup and sour cream; spread over hash browns. Sprinkle crab meat evenly over potatoes and top with cheese. Pour remaining 1/2 cup melted butter over cheese.
• Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes.

JOE'S ROASTED GARLIC MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Cut top 1/4 inch off garlic head and wrap head in foil. Roast garlic 40 to 50 minutes, or until very soft, and cool. Squeeze roasted garlic from head and reserve.
• In a 4-quart saucepan cover potatoes with water by 2 inches and simmer until very tender, about 30 minutes. Drain potatoes in a colander (do not peel). Transfer potatoes while still hot to a large bowl and add butter. With an electric mixer on low speed mash slightly. Beat in sour cream, buttermilk, chives, and oil until combined well. Add Parmesan, reserved garlic, pepper, and salt to taste, beating until smooth.
