Potatoes With Crab Sauce Food

POTATOES WITH CRAB SAUCE

Steps:

• In a blender, combine the first seven ingredients. Cover and process until smooth. Pour into a saucepan; cook and stir over medium heat until thickened. Reduce heat to low; add crab. With a sharp knife, cut an X in the top of each potato; fluff pulp with a fork. Top with crab sauce.

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.

CRAB STUFFED TWICE BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Prick holes in the potatoes with a fork and place directly on the oven rack. Roast until cooked through, about 45 minutes, depending on the size of the potato.
• While the potatoes are cooking prepare the crab: Add 2 tablespoons of butter to a frying pan. Add the shallots and cook until translucent. Next add the minced garlic and saute in the frying pan to gently brown the shallots and garlic. Add the thyme and crab and cook until heated through. Then set aside.
• Lower the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Once the potatoes are cooked and cool enough to handle cut, off a small portion of the top making an opening in the potato.
• Take a spoon and scoop the pulp into a bowl. Place the potato skins on a cookie sheet and put in a 350 degree F oven for about 5 minutes to dry them out and ensure they will be crispy when done.
• To the potato pulp, add the shallot/crab mixture, remaining butter, cheese and sour cream and mix. Then add parsley, salt and pepper, to taste. Fill the potato shells with the potato/crab mixture. Bake until cheese has melted around 35 to 45 minutes.
• Sprinkle with parsley.

GRILLED POTATOES WITH CRABMEAT-GREEN ONION DRESSING

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water by 2 inches and add 2 tablespoons salt. Bring to a boil and cook until a knife inserted into the center of the potato meets no resistance, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
• Whisk together the vinegar, mayonnaise and mustard in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified. Fold in the crab, half the green onions and the parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat a grill to medium-high.
• Slice the potatoes in half lengthwise, brush the flesh with canola oil and season with salt, pepper and little cayenne. Put the potatoes on the grill, flesh-side down, and grill until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove the potatoes to a platter. Break up the flesh a bit with a fork. Immediately spoon the dressing over the potatoes and garnish with the remaining green onions.

BAKED POTATOES WITH CRAB, JALAPEñO AND MINT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450.
• Scrub potatoes under running water; dry them, and rub the skin of each with the oil and a little salt. Pierce the skin of each in three or four places with the tines of a fork.
• Place the potatoes in the oven, and roast for 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the potatoes, until they offer no resistance when a knife is inserted in their centers.
• While the potatoes are baking, lightly toss the crab meat in a bowl with the lemon juice, olive oil, shredded mint, diced jalapeño and sour cream.
• When the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven, slice them open down the middle and use a spoon to scrape out their flesh into a bowl. Add the butter, salt and pepper and mash to combine. Spoon the mixture back into the empty jackets, place on a baking sheet, top with the crab-meat mixture and shower with cheese. Return to the oven for approximately 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden.

CRAB-BOIL POTATOES

Steps:

• Place the potatoes (I like mine cut up but you could keep them whole) in a pot and add just enough water to cover the potatoes. Add the crab boil.
• Bring the water to a rolling boil then add Tony Chacheres (or salt) and the hot sauce.
• Allow the potatoes to boil until they are fork-tender (5-10 minutes depending on the size of the potatoes and whether you cut them or left them whole).
• Drain the potatoes and allow them to sit for 5 minutes or so.
• You can serve these hot, or allow them to cool (the flavor gets stronger as they cool) and serve them at room temperature.

CRAB MASHED POTATO (COARSELY)

Steps:

• Bake potato in microwave until tender. Let it sit for a minute or two.
• Put the potato in a bowl and break it with a fork until it is coarsely mashed. Add all of the other ingredients and mix together or mash together. Put in the microwave for about 1 to 2 more minutes.

CRAB MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large pot with enough cold water to cover. Add kosher salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until fork-tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine cream cheese, Greek yogurt, buttermilk, butter, seafood seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a food processor; blend until smooth.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Drain potatoes and mash in a large bowl. Fold in cream cheese mixture. Whisk until smooth and blended. Add in crabmeat, stirring carefully to avoid breaking it up too much. Spoon potato mixture into a large, oven-safe casserole.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is bubbly and toasted, about 10 minutes.
• Top with chives just before serving.
