Best Crab Potato Nibblers Recipes

CRAB-STUFFED POTATOES

Steps:

• Bake potatoes at 425° for 45-55 minutes or until tender. When cool enough to handle, halve potatoes lengthwise. Carefully scoop out pulp into a bowl, leaving a thin shell. Set shells aside. Beat or mash potato pulp with butter, cream, salt and pepper until smooth. Using a fork, stir in onions or chives and cheese. Gently mix in crab. Stuff shells. Sprinkle with paprika. Return to the oven for 15 minutes or until heated through.

CRAB BOIL POTATO CHIPS

Steps:

• Combine 8 ounces lump crabmeat (picked over) with 1/2 cup fresh corn kernels, 1 tablespoon each mayonnaise and fresh lemon juice, 2 teaspoons chopped chives, 1/4 teaspoon Old Bay and a pinch of salt. Spoon onto thick-cut potato chips and sprinkle with more Old Bay and chives.

CRAB MASHED POTATOES

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.

KILLER CRAB AND POTATO CAKES

Steps:

• Cook potatoes in boiling water for 6-7 minutes, until tender; drain, then scatter potatoes across a large, flat surface to cool and dry for 5 minutes; then transfer to a mixing bowl.
• Make a paste with the garlic and salt; add it to the potatoes along with the parsley, thyme, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes.
• Add crab and Old Bay seasoning to potatoes; combine the mixture gently.
• Form 4 super-size 4-5 inch killer crab cakes.
• Place the bread crumbs on a plate; coat the crab cakes on both sides with crumbs to set them.
• Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium to med-high heat; add the cakes and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until deeply golden; serve immediately.

CRAB AND POTATO FRITTATA

Steps:

• Put the potato in a pot with enough water to cover. Season the water generously with salt and place over high heat. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain well and let cool slightly. Cut into quarters and slice into thin pieces.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, lemon zest, paprika and 1 teaspoon salt.
• Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with the olive oil. In the baking dish, combine the crab, arugula and sliced potatoes, making sure the potatoes are all lying flat. Pour the egg mixture over the top.
• Bake until the center is just set and the top is brown, about 30 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before cutting into 1-inch squares.

BAKED POTATOES WITH CRAB, JALAPEñO AND MINT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450.
• Scrub potatoes under running water; dry them, and rub the skin of each with the oil and a little salt. Pierce the skin of each in three or four places with the tines of a fork.
• Place the potatoes in the oven, and roast for 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the potatoes, until they offer no resistance when a knife is inserted in their centers.
• While the potatoes are baking, lightly toss the crab meat in a bowl with the lemon juice, olive oil, shredded mint, diced jalapeño and sour cream.
• When the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven, slice them open down the middle and use a spoon to scrape out their flesh into a bowl. Add the butter, salt and pepper and mash to combine. Spoon the mixture back into the empty jackets, place on a baking sheet, top with the crab-meat mixture and shower with cheese. Return to the oven for approximately 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden.
