- 4 medium baking potatoes
- 1/4 cup butter or margarine
- 1/4 cup light cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions or chives
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 (6 ounce) can crabmeat – drained, flaked and cartilage removed or imitation crabmeat
- Paprika
- Bake potatoes at 425 degrees F for 45-55 minutes or until tender. When cool enough to handle, halve potatoes lengthwise. Carefully scoop out pulp into a bowl, leaving a tin 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.
