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.

A giant family-style omelet is filled with crispy crab, corn and scallions and served alongside smashed breakfast potatoes.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over for shells (about 6 ounces),
1 cup fresh corn kernels (from about 2 cobs)
1 bunch scallions, chopped, whites and greens kept separate
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound boiled small potatoes
1 1/4 teaspoons seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay
6 large eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat until hot. Add the crab, corn, scallion whites and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the edges of the crab are just crisp, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl. Wipe out the skillet.
  • Gently smash the potatoes with the heel of your hand so the inside is exposed but they still hold their shape. Heat 4 tablespoons of the butter in the skillet over medium-high heat and add the potatoes in a single layer and cook, flipping once, until golden, about 4 minutes per side. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon seafood seasoning and 1 tablespoon of the scallion greens. Season with salt. Transfer to a plate, cover and keep warm. Wipe out the skillet.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in the skillet. Beat the eggs, cream, remaining scallion greens and remaining 3/4 teaspoon seafood seasoning, then pour into the hot skillet. Cook by lifting the set egg with a spatula, letting the uncooked egg flow underneath. When the eggs are mostly set but still loose on top, add the crab filling to one side. Gently fold the omelet in half and slide onto a serving plate. Serve with the smashed potatoes.
