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.

Lemon sole with crab & tarragon butter sauce image

This whole baked fish looks impressive on a platter for sharing, served simply with potatoes and greens

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

50g butter , softened
1 tbsp chopped tarragon leaves
50g/2oz crab , half white meat, half brown
1 lemon , zested, then cut into thin slices
1 large whole lemon sole or 2 small ones, descaled and gutted (ask your fishmonger to do this), washed and dried
50ml white wine
1 tbsp caper , drained and rinsed
2 tbsp double cream

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. In a small bowl, mash the butter with the tarragon, crabmeat and zest, and season. Make a few deep slashes across the fillets on both sides of the sole, then place the fish, dark-skin up, in a large roasting tin. Season, then stuff the crab butter into the cuts, spreading any remaining butter on top. Lay a few lemon slices over the fish, then pour over the wine.
  • Bake for 15-20 mins, depending on the size of the fish - the flesh should flake away easily from the bone when gently pushed with a knife.
  • Carefully remove the fish from the tin, place on a warm plate or platter and cover with foil while you make the sauce. Set the tin over a low heat, add 2 tbsp water and bring to the boil. Let the sauce bubble for a few mins, then stir in the capers and cream. Pour the sauce over the fish and serve with steamed potatoes and a green salad.

CRAB-BOIL POTATOES



Crab-Boil Potatoes image

I first tried these delicious little potatoes while in New Orleans but did not think to get a recipe. I have adapted this recipe to match the taste as best I can. They are somewhat adaptable, you can adjust the spice level to your own preference - these are what I would consider a medium level (I ususally use a bit more spice b/c I like things spicy!)

Provided by Kerry G

Categories     Potato

Time 10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 lbs red potatoes
1 tablespoon tony chachere's original creole seasoning (you could use regular salt)
3 tablespoons liquid crab boil (or 1 bag of the dry kind)
2 ounces hot sauce (not Tabasco- the flavor isn't right)

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.

Tips:

  • For the creamiest sauce, use a high-quality mayonnaise.
  • If you don't have crab meat on hand, you can substitute cooked shrimp, lobster, or even flaked tuna.
  • Be sure to cook the potatoes until they are tender, but not mushy.
  • For a more flavorful sauce, add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dash of hot sauce.
  • Garnish the finished dish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives.

Conclusion:

Potatoes with crab sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The creamy sauce and tender potatoes are a perfect match, and the crab meat adds a touch of luxury. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
