Categories     side-dish

Time 1h55m

Yield 6 stuffed potatoes

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 large baking potatoes
2 tablespoons plus 4 to 6 tablespoons butter, depending on size of potatoes, divided
2 medium shallots
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
2 cups cooked crabmeat, preferably Alaska king crab
1 to 2 cups grated cheese, depending on size of potatoes (provolone, Muenster or Jack - something mild)
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon freshly chopped Italian parsley leaves
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper

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.

Time 2h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 medium baking potatoes
1/4 cup butter
1/4-1/3 cup half-and-half cream
salt and pepper
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup finely chopped green onion
1 package imitation crabmeat, chopped

Steps:

  • bake potatoes at 425 degrees for 45-50 minutes, or until tender.
  • when cool enough to handle, halve the potatoes lengthwise.

  • using a fork, stir in cheese and onions.
  • gently mix in crab.
  • stuff shells.
  • return to oven for 15 minutes or until heated through.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh crab meat. Frozen crab meat can be used, but it will not have the same flavor and texture.
  • Be sure to dice the crab meat finely so that it will evenly distribute throughout the potato bites.
  • Use a combination of cheeses for a more complex flavor. A good option is to use a blend of cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses.
  • If you don't have a muffin tin, you can also use a mini-cupcake tin or even a regular baking sheet. Just be sure to grease the pan well so that the potato bites don't stick.
  • Serve the potato bites warm with your favorite dipping sauce. Ranch dressing, tartar sauce, or cocktail sauce are all good options.

Conclusion:

Crab-filled potato bites are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion.
