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.

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.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest crabmeat possible: Fresh crabmeat will have a sweet, briny flavor and a firm, flaky texture. Avoid crabmeat that is brown or mushy, as this indicates that it is old or spoiled.
- Don't overcook the crabmeat: Crabmeat is a delicate protein that can easily be overcooked. Cook it just until it is heated through, or it will become tough and chewy.
- Use a variety of seasonings: Crabmeat has a mild flavor, so it can be seasoned with a variety of herbs and spices. Some popular choices include lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, and garlic powder.
- Serve crabmeat immediately: Crabmeat is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you need to store it, place it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
