Crab Potato Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Place potatoes into a large saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook over medium-high heat for 30 minutes, or until tender. Drain, peel and dice while still hot. This is what will make the salad fluffy. Cover and refrigerate until cold.
• In a large serving bowl, toss together the potatoes, eggs, crabmeat, black olives and carrot. Sprinkle with sugar, and stir in enough mayonnaise to moisten. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Chill until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Mix 1/2 cup each corn and chopped celery, 1 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1 1/2 teaspoons Old Bay. Toss with 2 pounds boiled cubed red potatoes and 1 cup crabmeat.

Steps:

• 1. Boil whole red potatoes in salted water until tender, 12-15 minutes, cool and slice large ones into quarters, small in half. Boil the eggs, cool and dice. If using fresh corn, steam or boil until crisp tender, cool and cut off the cob. Add the potatoes, macaroni, and corn to a large bowl and mix together.
• 2. In a small bowl, combine mayo, eggs, celery, onions, lemon and spices. Add to potato mixture and blend together. Taste to check the seasoning (my favorite part!). Garnish with fresh minced parsley.
• 3. Salad can be served warm or chilled, refrigerate to keep fresh.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bake the potatoes until soft, about 40 minutes depending on the size.
• Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees F.
• Remove the potatoes from the oven. Scoop out the flesh and transfer to a bowl for use in the Root Vegetable Mash, recipe follows. Place the potato skins into the fryer until they become brown and crispy. Remove the skins, place on paper towels and season with salt, and pepper, to taste. Let cool to room temperature.
• Mix the crab with the mayonnaise, Dijon, green onions, and chives. Season the mixture with salt, and pepper, to taste. Spoon the mixture into the potato skins.
• For the Root Vegetable Mash:
• Cook all the potatoes, parsnips, carrots, and salsify in salted boiling water for about 30 minutes, or until tender. Add the inside of the potatoes from the Crab Salad Stuffed Potato Skins, recipe follows, if desired to the rest of the vegetables. Mash the vegetables along with the cream and butter. Season the vegetables with salt, and pepper, to taste. Keep warm.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add potatoes, onions, crab, and jalapeno to the pan and cook until just warmed through. Add the cilantro and season with salt and pepper.
• Ladle about 1/4 cup of the Carrot-Habanero Broth into a shallow bowl. Mound 1/4 of the crab salad in the center of the bowl. Repeat with 4 other bowls.
• Place all ingredients in a small nonreactive saucepan and cook until reduced by half. Strain.
