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:

• 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.

Steps:

• Boil potatoes in salted water until soft when pierced with a fork,drain; cool.
• Cook macaroni in salted water according to package directions until done and drain in colander. Other pastas can also be used i.e. ditalini, small shells, spaghetti, penne.
• 3 While potatoes are cooking, mix together vinegar, sugar, and msg in a small bowl until blended and sugar is dissolved. Add minced onions and dried shrimp to mixture and set aside at least 10 minutes to marinate.
• Peel potatoes if you don't want the skin on and cut the potatoes into 1/2 inch cubes while they are still warm.
• Place potatoes in a large mixing bowl and add salt to taste.
• Add drained macaroni to potatoes in the bowl.
• Add vinegar mixture while gently turning the potatoes and macaroni until they are coated with the marinade.
• Remove any bones from crab and shred meat.
• Add crab to salad and mix well.
• Cook frozen peas in boiling water until they turn bright green, drain, cool, and add to mixture in the bowl.
• cut the hardboiled eggs and add to potato mixture.
• Salt and pepper to taste.
• Add mayonaise. Use additional mayonaise if needed. Do not add too much.
• Tuna, surimi, or kamabuko can be substituted for the canned crab. I like to use canned crab and surimi.
• Olives can be used instead of or in addition to the peas. Adjust for the salt in the olives. Grated carrots can also be added for color and sweetness.
• Instead of vinegar, pickle juice or pickle relish can be used.
• Mix well and level salad in the bowl. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on salad surface and press to eliminate air. This will help keep the salad from drying out on top. Placing salad in a large ziploc bag and pressing the air out does the same thing and is easier to store in the refrigerator.
• I like to use celery salt instead of plain salt.
• Chill for at least 4 hours for the flavors to blend. Keep refrigerated until served.

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.

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.
