DEVILED CRAB POTATO SKINS

Steps:

• Toppings: Crab salad, cayenne pepper and paprika
• How to Make Classic Potato Skins:
• Pierce 4 large russet potatoes with a fork. Bake directly on the oven rack at 350 degrees until tender, about 1 hour. Let cool, then quarter lengthwise and scoop out the flesh, leaving a 1/4-inch shell. Brush both sides with melted butter and season with salt and pepper. Bake, skin-side up, at 450 degrees until crisp, about 20 minutes. Add your favorite team toppings. (For cheesy skins, flip the baked shells over before topping, sprinkle with 1 cup grated cheddar cheese and bake an extra 5 minutes.)

GRILLED SEA BASS, CRISP POTATO SKINS & CRAB BUTTER

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Cut the ends from the potatoes and keep. Cut the peel and 1cm flesh from the potatoes, leaving blocky barrels of potato behind. On a shallow baking tray, massage the skins and potato ends with the oil, salt and thyme sprigs. Roast for 30 mins, turning halfway through, until tender and starting to crisp. Set aside until later.
• Simmer the salad onion with the vinegar until reduced to 1 tsp or so. Strain the vinegar into the butter (keep the onion), add the crab and some seasoning, and mash well. Chill until needed.
• Heat grill to high - make sure it's really hot before you cook the fish. Slash the skin of each fillet three times and season. Put the potatoes under the grill for 2 mins or until hot and starting to crisp again, then lay the fish fillets on top. (If your grill doesn't go very high, fry your fillets, skin-side down, in a non-stick frying pan to crisp it up before putting them on top of your potatoes.) Pour olive oil over the fish, and grill for 4 mins or until opaque with the skin crisping.
• Dollop ¼ of the crab butter onto each fillet, then grill for 1 min until the butter begins to melt. Using a fish slice, transfer the fish to warmed plates to serve, with the potato skins, a few thyme leaves and a charred onion & tomato salad.

CHEESY CAJUN CRAB POTATO SKINS

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Rub freshly scrubbed potatoes with olive oil to crisp the skin.
• Place potatoes on a baking sheet and bake on center rack for 50-60 minutes or until tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.
• While your potatoes bake, combine crab, chopped green onion, cajun or old bay seasoning blend, garlic powder, and paprika in a medium bowl. For an extra kick you can add red pepper flakes or ground cayenne pepper to the mix.
• Stir in about 3/4 cup of your freshly grated gouda and cheddar, reserving the rest for topping.
• Once your potatoes are ready, allow them to cool, then slice each in half lengthwise.
• Scoop out the majority of each center and set aside, leaving a small portion of the potato around the edges to help them maintain their shape. I like to score an oval in the center using a knife before scooping to ensure pretty potato boats every time. Also if you have a grapefruit spoon or mellon baller handy, snag either for scooping. They're not necessary but are totally helpful!
• Wait! STAHHHHHP! Save the potato you just scooped out! It's a great swirled into creamy soups and you can even turn it into a mini loaded baked potato casserole or into mashed potatoes! The possibilities are endless.
• Brush the edges of each potato skin with olive oil and fill with the crab mixture.
• Top with the remaining cheese, a teeny pinch of red pepper flakes and a little extra paprika, to taste, and bake on the center rack for 15-20 minutes until they reach cheesy, crispy perfection.
• Garnish with chopped parsley [optional] and green onion and drizzle with sour cream or Greek yogurt!
