LOBSTER MASHED POTATOES
I had this amazing dish at a lovely Pacific Northwest steakhouse and I knew I had to figure out how to make this special treat. These potatoes were so delicious, I could have skipped the steak entirely. This is my take on this rich and decadent side dish. This has become one of our traditions on Valentine's Day with a fabulous tenderloin steak. YUMMY! This would work well with your own mashed potato recipe instead of the basic mashed potato recipe listed here. You could certainly do this recipe with lobster tails instead of the whole lobster. You could even use precooked lobster ignoring the lobster cooking instructions. It looks like it is time consuming, but it is so easy and worth the effort for a special meal.

LOBSTER STUFFED WITH MASHED POTATOES
Steps:
- Wash live lobsters under cold water, leaving rubber bands on claws. To kill a lobster sever its spinal cord (this is the least painful method). Deaden its sense of pain by thrusting the tip of the knife between the lobster's eyes and continue moving downward into the natural breach where the head and front abdominal shells meet. Turn lobster around and split downthe tail, but do not cut in half. Discard stomach. Remove rubber bands from claws. Place lobsters on baking dish or baking pan. Insert wooden skewers through the length of tails. Season with salt, pepper and 2 ounces of butter. using a pastry bag with a star tip, pipe mashed potatoes (see Mashed Potato recipe) into front cavity and bake in 375 degree oven for about 15 minutes. Serve lobster with melted butter and lemon wedges.
- For the mashed potatoes: Dice potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Place 1 1/2 quarts of water in medium-size pot over high heat. When the water boils, add the potatoes. Cover and cook until fork-tender. When potatoes are cooked, drain well using a colander. While the potatoes are draining in colander, melt butter in small pot. Add heavy ceam to butter. Bring butter and cream to a boil. Remove from stove. Place drained potatoes in a mixing bowl. Set electric mixer to medium speed and proceed wihpping potatoes. With machine running, slowly add heavy cream and butter. Whip potatoes until smooth (approximately 4 to 5 minutes). Stop machine and remove bowl. Fold in sour cream and scallions. Add salt and pepper. Place a star tip on pastry bag. Place potatoes in pastry bag. Pipe mashed potatoes into front cavity of lobster (see Lobster Recipe) and bake in 375 degree oven for 15 minutes. Yield: 2 servings
LOBSTER & POTATO SALAD
Steps:
- Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water by 1 inch. Add 1 tablespoon salt and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 15 to 25 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes, until just tender. (I use a small bamboo skewer to test them.) Drain in a colander, cover the colander with a clean kitchen towel, and allow the potatoes to steam for 5 to 10 minutes. Cut them in quarters or halves, depending on their size, and place them in a large bowl.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the vinegar, mustard, garlic, egg yolk, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. While whisking, slowly pour in the olive oil, making an emulsion. Stir in the wine and capers. While the potatoes are still very warm, pour half the vinaigrette on the potatoes and toss them gently, allowing them to soak up the vinaigrette. Stir in the scallions, celery, red onion and lobster and add enough vinaigrette to moisten. Reserve any remaining vinaigrette. Add the zest and juice of the lemon, the tarragon, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper and toss carefully. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow the flavors to blend. Taste for seasonings and add more vinaigrette, if necessary. Serve at room temperature.

LOBSTER STUFFED POTATO
I got this recipe from a chef who taught a gourmet cooking class many years ago. The recipe is from the award winning restaurant "Windows on The Water" which is in Kennebunkport, Maine, not far from President Bush's family compound. I'm sure you could substitute the lobster meat with imitation crab or lobster. Lobster meat is very expensive; around $23.00 per pound.

- Wash and wrap potatoes in tinfoil, place in pre-heated 350⁰F (175⁰C) oven for 45 minutes to an hour to bake. Test to ensure potatoes are cooked through and tender with a sharp pairing knife or skewer.
- While potatoes bake prepare the lobster meat, cracking and cutting as needed, leaving it chunky and bite sized. Chop onions, grate cheese and mince garlic. Reserve chilled until needed. As potatoes near finishing time add cream and butter to small sauce pan and melt to combine, do not boil. Reserve warm.
- Once potatoes are cooked remove them from the oven, and do not allow them to cool! use a hand-towel or oven mitt and work quickly, first removing the tinfoil then finding the best ‘flat side’ that will allow the potato to sit upright. Cut off the ‘lid’ of the potato, at about the one-third mark, horizontally. Scoop out hot potatoes flesh with a spoon and place in a waiting bowl, leaving about a half inch of fresh with the jacket, being careful not to damage the skin. Discard the top, place remaining potatoes on a baking sheet sprayed with non-stick spray. Discard one shell, you start with five, you end with four, heaping potatoes.
- Mash potato pulp with a fork to remove any lumps and season lightly. Now fold lobster, green onions, garlic and half the cheese into the still hot potato. Drizzle in HOT cream-butter mix and fold to combine, then season to taste. Resulting mixture should be chunky and sticky like mashed potatoes – not loose and runny. Scoop and press lobster-potato mix back into the potato jackets, mounting the mix up and over. Top with remaining cheese. (At this point you can reserve at room temperature for up to an hour as needed. When ready, return to 350⁰F (175⁰C) oven for 30 – 40 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbling. Serve hot.
