Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 4 yukon gold potatoes about 1.5 lbs, peeled and cut into large cubes
  • 1/4 - 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 green onions green part only, chopped
  • 6 ounces fresh dungeness crab meat
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • In a large saucepan, add enough water to cover the potatoes. Boil potatoes until a fork can be inserted and removed easily. Strain.
  • Return potatoes to pan pour, in 1/4 cup milk and add in butter. Use a hand held potato masher to mash potatoes. Add remaining 1/4 cup milk if you would like potatoes creamier.
  • Add in green onions, dungeness crab meat, garlic powder, pepper and salt. Stir just until combined. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if desired.
  • Serve.

Notes

While I do recommend dungeness crab with this recipe, I do realize that not everyone has access to it. If you do not, just use whatever kind of fresh lump crab meat you can find. Or if you really want to fancy things up, how about lobster? Enjoy!
