5 Idaho potatoes, peeled and chopped
1 cup hot milk
4 ounces melted butter
2 tablespoons oil
1 to 2 ears corn, shucked, kernels removed from the cob
Salt and pepper
Chipotle Puree, recipe follows
1 1/2 to 2 pounds jumbo lump crabmeat
1 ounce garlic, chopped
4 ounces mayonnaise
Pinch chopped fresh herbs (tarragon, thyme, sage)
Salt and pepper
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups bread crumbs
4 tablespoons butter
Basil Oil, recipe follows
Remoulade, recipe follows
3 ounces chipotle in adobo
1/4 bunch cilantro, stemmed
1 ounce garlic
1 bunch basil, leaves picked
1 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic
Salt and pepper
1 ounce shallot, peeled and sliced
3 ounces cornishons or 1/2 dill pickle
1 tablespoon capers
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon brandy
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Mashed Potatoes: Place potatoes in boiling, salted water and cook until soft, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain. While the potatoes are cooking, combine the hot milk and melted butter. In a small saute pan, add the oil and heat. Add the corn and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the milk mixture to the drained potatoes with the chipotle puree and sauteed corn and mash. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside and keep warm.
  • Mix the crabmeat, garlic, mayonnaise, and herbs. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions.
  • Place the flour in a shallow dish or bowl. Place the eggs in a separate bowl, and the bread crumbs in a separate bowl. Dredge each crab cake in the flour, then the egg, then the bread crumbs, shaking off any excess. Refrigerate until ready to cook.
  • Melt 1/2 of the butter in a large saute pan. Add the crab cakes in batches and cook until golden brown on both sides, adding more butter as necessary.
  • Place potatoes in center of plate. Stack crab cakes onto mashed potatoes. Drizzle chipotle honey and basil oil around plate. Place a dollop of remoulade sauce on top of crab cakes.
  • Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth.
  • Chipotle Honey:
  • 4 ounces honey
  • 1 ounce chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, pureed
  • Combine the honey with the chipotle puree
  • Blanch the basil leaves in boiling water for 10 seconds. Drain and plunge in a water bath. Dry the leaves well and place in a blender. Add the garlic and puree with oil until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Combine all ingredients in food processor or blender until smooth.

Time 50m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 13

5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
¼ cup kosher salt
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup Greek yogurt
1 cup buttermilk
1 stick butter, cut into pieces
2 teaspoons seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 pounds lump crabmeat
1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a large pot with enough cold water to cover. Add kosher salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until fork-tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine cream cheese, Greek yogurt, buttermilk, butter, seafood seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a food processor; blend until smooth.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Drain potatoes and mash in a large bowl. Fold in cream cheese mixture. Whisk until smooth and blended. Add in crabmeat, stirring carefully to avoid breaking it up too much. Spoon potato mixture into a large, oven-safe casserole.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is bubbly and toasted, about 10 minutes.
  • Top with chives just before serving.
