Decadent crab and cheese mashed potatoes, perfect for holiday entertaining.
Ingredients:
  • 5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 0.25 cup kosher salt
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 stick butter, cut into pieces
  • 2 teaspoons seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 pounds lump crabmeat
  • 1.5 cups shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Instructions:
  • In a large pot, submerge potatoes in cold water, season with kosher salt, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until easily pierced with a fork, for about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • In a food processor, blend cream cheese, Greek yogurt, buttermilk, butter, seafood seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
  • Preheat the oven to a toasty 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Drain and mash potatoes in a large bowl, then gently mix in the creamy cream cheese. Whisk until velvety. Carefully incorporate the crabmeat to keep it chunky. Transfer the luscious potato blend into a spacious, oven-safe casserole dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and toasted.
  • Sprinkle with fresh chives right before serving.
