Crab-Stuffed Potatoes

By Bostoncook

Ingredients

• 4 baking potatoes
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/4 cup half and half (1/4 to 1/3)
• salt and pepper
• 1 cup cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped scallion
• 1 package surimi, chopped

Preparation

Step 1

1. Bake potatoes at 425 degrees for 45-50 minutes, or until tender. When cool enough to handle, halve the potatoes lengthwise. Carefully scoop out pulp into a bowl, leaving a thin shell. Set shells aside.

2. Beat or mash potatoes with butter, cream, salt and pepper until smooth. Using a fork, stir in cheese and onions. Gently mix in crab. Stuff shells.

3. Return to oven for 15 minutes or until heated through.

Notes: These were fine and certainly easy enough, but crab taste wasn't discernable. Worthy of a repeat to use surimi.
