Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat broiler and position rack 4 inches from heating element.

02

Step

In a medium saucepan, place potatoes and cover with 2 inches of cold, salted water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, covered, for 25-30 minutes, or until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork. (25-30 minutes)

03

Step

Drain potatoes and let cool slightly until you can handle them. Cut each potato in half. Using a small melon baller or spoon, carefully scoop out the center of each potato half, leaving a 1/4-inch border to create a cup. (10 minutes)

04

Step

In a small bowl, gently fold together crabmeat, Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, chives, Parmesan cheese, parsley, and lemon juice. Season to taste with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the crab mixture into each potato half, mounding slightly.

06

Step

Place the filled potato bites on a baking sheet and broil for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through. Watch carefully to prevent burning. (3-5 minutes)

07

Step

Serve immediately and enjoy!

For an extra touch of elegance, garnish with a sprinkle of smoked paprika or a tiny sprig of fresh dill before serving.
Yukon Gold potatoes are recommended for their creamy texture and slightly sweet flavor, but other small potato varieties will also work well.
Ensure the crabmeat is thoroughly picked over to remove any shell fragments.
For a richer flavor, use a high-quality mayonnaise.
These potato bites can be assembled ahead of time and broiled just before serving.
