Best 8 Crab Stuffed Twice Baked Potatoes Recipes

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 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.

CRAB STUFFED TWICE BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Scrub potatoes and use the tip of a sharp knife to poke several holes in each of them.
• Bake 45 minutes directly on the oven rack, spacing them at least an inch apart. Check by inserting a knife into the potato to see if it is tender; if not, return to the oven for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or as needed. Set aside to cool.
• Turn out the crab into a colander; pick through for shell and set aside to drain (see tip below).
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Slice potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the potato pulp, leaving a -inch border all around.
• Combine the potato pulp with the cream cheese, butter, salt, pepper, Cajun seasoning, and onion until well blended. Add enough half and half or cream to moisten the potatoes; stir in the cheddar.
• Add crab meat and toss gently to combine.
• Refill the potato shells and sprinkle each potato lightly with paprika. If serving immediately, bake at 400 degrees F for about 15 minutes, until heated through.

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.

CLASSIC STUFFED TWICE BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Scrub and pierce potatoes.
• Bake for one hour, or until fully cooked.
• Remove potatoes from oven and let cool slightly.
• Cut potatoes in half and scoop out potato, being careful not to tear the skins, and place in a large bowl.
• Set skins aside.
• Add butter and salt to potatoes; mash until smooth.
• Add sour cream; mash until combined.
• Add cheese; mash until combined.
• Add one tablespoon of milk; mash.
• If the mixture needs to be more creamy, add more milk, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency.
• Add additional salt to taste, if needed.
• Fill empty skins with potato mixture.
• Top each potato with a half slice of cheese.
• Return to oven and reheat until hot.
• *Note*You may also refrigerate them to reheat at a later time, or you can freeze them.
• If you freeze them, delay placing the cheese slices on top until you are ready to bake them. You might want to add more milk to the mix before filling the potatoes because after freezing they seem to reheat a little less creamy.

ULTIMATE TWICE BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake potatoes in preheated oven for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
• When potatoes are done allow them to cool for 10 minutes. Slice potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop the flesh into a large bowl; save skins. To the potato flesh add sour cream, milk, butter, salt, pepper, 1/2 cup cheese and 1/2 the green onions. Mix with a hand mixer until well blended and creamy. Spoon the mixture into the potato skins. Top each with remaining cheese, green onions and bacon.

TWICE BAKED POTATOES WITH SEAFOOD TOPPING

Steps:

• POTATOES: Wash potatoes thoroughly, poke with a fork (I use a kebab skewer) and microwave until completely cooked and soft to the touch.
• While they are still warm, cut them in half lengthwise then carefully scoop out centres leaving a shell of the skin about 1/4 inch thick.
• Place the scooped out centres into a separate bowl and mash potato together with sour cream, buttermilk and salt and pepper.
• Stuff the potato shells with the mashed potato and place in a sprayed 8 inch square casserole dish. Set aside. Prepare the topping.
• TOPPING: In a saucepan on low heat combine and stir with a wire whisk: flour, cream cheese, milk, garlic, salt, nutmeg, pepper and heat gently until cream cheese is no longer lumpy.
• Stir in mayonnaise, lemon juice, parmesan cheese and green onion.
• Remove from heat and fold in crab meat and shrimp gently with a rubber spatula.
• Cover and allow to cool to room temperature.
• Spoon the topping mixture over the stuffed potatoes and sprinkle with cheddar cheese and extra Parmesan cheese.
• At this point you can cover the dish with plastic wrap and store in the fridge overnight if you want to prepare them ahead.
• Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bake 20 to 30 minutes until heated through and topping is lightly browned.

CHEESY SHRIMP-STUFFED TWICE-BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Prick potatoes several times with a fork and place onto a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let sit until cool enough to handle, about 30 minutes.
• Slice off the top 1/3 of each baked potato. Use a spoon to scoop out all of the pulp from the potatoes and the tops, and place in a large mixing bowl. Set the emptied potato shells and tops onto a baking sheet.
• Add softened butter to the potato pulp; mix on medium to high speed until well combined. Then blend in sour cream, salt, and pepper.
• Roughly chop all but 4 shrimp. Stir chopped shrimp into the potato mixture with the Cheddar cheese until combined, then spoon it into the potato shells, molding it high. Add any overflow that won't fit into the top pieces. Slice 4 remaining shrimp in half lengthwise and arrange 2 pieces on top of each filled potato.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, filling is heated through, and top is lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
