LOBSTER STUFFED POTATO



Lobster Stuffed Potato image

I got this recipe from a chef who taught a gourmet cooking class many years ago. The recipe is from the award winning restaurant "Windows on The Water" which is in Kennebunkport, Maine, not far from President Bush's family compound. I'm sure you could substitute the lobster meat with imitation crab or lobster. Lobster meat is very expensive; around $23.00 per pound.

LOBSTER-STUFFED POTATOES

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 medium Yukon gold potatoes (2 1/2 to 3 pounds), scrubbed and dried
Two 1 1/2-pound lobsters
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 cup finely chopped scallions, plus more for garnish
1 cup creme fraiche or sour cream
1 cup (about 3 3/4 ounces) shredded Gruyere

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F; position an oven rack in the middle of the oven.
  • Poke holes in the potatoes, then place them on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until just soft, about 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place the lobsters in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes-this will put the lobsters to sleep and calm them down so they're not so acrobatic when you try to finish them off. Fill a large pot with water and add enough salt so the water tastes like seawater, then bring to a boil. Fill a very large bowl with ice and water.
  • Working with one lobster at a time, in one decisive motion, plunge a chef's knife into and all the way through the lobster's head so the head is halved vertically-this kills it quickly. Break down the lobster by removing the claws and the tail. Discard the lobster carcasses or save them to make lobster stock later.
  • Add the lobster tails to the boiling water and cook for 3 minutes, then add the claws and cook for an additional 6 to 7 minutes. Remove the lobster from the boiling water and set aside. Once cool, crack the claws and tails and remove the meat. Quarter the tails lengthwise and chop. Cut the claw meat in half and chop it into pieces the same size as the tail meat.
  • Let the potatoes cool slightly; leave the oven on. Carefully, without breaking the skin, slice the potatoes in half and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Reserve for later.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and cook until the milk solids sink to the bottom of the pan and turn hazelnut brown and the butter starts to smell nutty, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the rosemary and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the scallions and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the scooped potato flesh, salt and pepper to the saucepan and stir to combine. Add the chopped lobster, creme fraiche and 3/4 cup of the Gruyere. Mix until thoroughly combined.
  • Spoon the potato-lobster mixture into the potato shells and place them in a 9-by-13-inch baking pan or on a quarter-sheet tray. Sprinkle the potatoes with the remaining 1/4 cup Gruyere and bake until the potatoes are hot and bubbling, 12 to 15 minutes. Top with the scallions, and serve.

LOBSTER MASHED POTATOES

These are probably the most expensive mashed potatoes you will ever make! I read a review of a restaraunt in NYC that serves this dish, and was intrigued. Found this on epicurious.com. A perfect side dish for a romantic dinner or special event, such as Valentine's Day. Note the recipe only serves 2, if you plan to make more, you may have to take out a second mortgage on the house!

LOBSTER MASHED POTATOES



Lobster Mashed Potatoes image

I had this amazing dish at a lovely Pacific Northwest steakhouse and I knew I had to figure out how to make this special treat. These potatoes were so delicious, I could have skipped the steak entirely. This is my take on this rich and decadent side dish. This has become one of our traditions on Valentine's Day with a fabulous tenderloin steak. YUMMY! This would work well with your own mashed potato recipe instead of the basic mashed potato recipe listed here. You could certainly do this recipe with lobster tails instead of the whole lobster. You could even use precooked lobster ignoring the lobster cooking instructions. It looks like it is time consuming, but it is so easy and worth the effort for a special meal.

  • Be careful not to overcook the lobster. Overcooked lobster is tough and chewy, so cook it just until it is opaque and tender.
  • Use high-quality mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes are a key part of this dish, so make sure to use the best quality potatoes you can find.
  • Season the mashed potatoes well. Don't be afraid to add plenty of salt, pepper, and other seasonings to the mashed potatoes. This will help to bring out their flavor.
  • Stuff the lobster generously. Don't be shy about stuffing the lobster with mashed potatoes. The more mashed potatoes you use, the more delicious the dish will be.
  • Bake the lobster until it is golden brown. This will help to create a crispy crust on the lobster and will also help to ensure that the lobster is cooked through.

Conclusion:

Lobster stuffed with mashed potatoes is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure that your lobster stuffed with mashed potatoes is cooked to perfection. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
