Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 1.5 cups cooked lump crabmeat
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (grated)
- 2 green onions (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly, then pat them dry.
Using a fork, pierce each potato several times. Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Bake for approximately 50-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife.
While the potatoes are baking, prepare the crab filling. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cooked crabmeat, butter, sour cream, cheddar cheese, green onions, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well until combined and set aside.
Once the potatoes are baked, allow them to cool for 5 minutes or until they are safe to handle. Then, slice each potato in half lengthwise.
Using a spoon, carefully scoop out the potato flesh, leaving a thin shell. Place the scooped flesh in a mixing bowl, and set the potato shells aside on a baking sheet.
Mash the scooped potato flesh with a fork or a potato masher. Fold in the prepared crabmeat mixture and mix until smooth and well-combined.
Spoon the crab mixture evenly back into the reserved potato shells, mounding it slightly to hold the filling.
Sprinkle panko breadcrumbs over the top of the filled potatoes, then drizzle with olive oil to ensure the breadcrumbs crisp during baking.
Place the stuffed potatoes back in the oven, baking for an additional 15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the filling is warmed through.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately, garnished with additional chopped green onions if desired. Enjoy!
