Creamy Crab Stuffed Baked Potato
Ingredients
Baked Potato
- 4 large yukon potatoes
Crab Stuffing
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup spinach chopped
- 2 cloves garlic smashed
- 1/2 medium red onion
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp old bay seasoning
- 2 tbsp mayonaise
- 8 oz lump crab meat
Dairy Free Cream Sauce
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp all purpose gluten free flour
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cube chicken broth
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
Instructions
-
Add potatoes to a large pot of water and boil until tender but a little firm (we will be baking them later). You should be able to stick a fork into them but it should still be a little hard.
-
Pre heat oven to 375° F
-
Carefully cut potatoes length wise and scoop out the insides using a spoon. Be careful not to break potatoes in half. Start by shallow scoops from the surface and slowly work your way to the bottom.
-
Place spinach, garlic, onion, black pepper, salt, old bay seasoning, and mayonaise in a food processor. Pulse 6-8 times. Add in lump crab meat and pulse another 6-8 times.
-
Using a spoonful at a time, carefully fill the potatoes with the crab and spinach mixture, packing it in and adding more ontop.
-
Place stuffed potatoes in a pan where they will be tight and can lean on eachother for support (otherwise, it will tip over and filling will fall out). Bake for approximately 30 minutes. *Note: If you don't have a pan that allows them to be close, build some walls with tinfoil instead.
-
While potatoes are baking, start to prepare creamy sauce by placing butter in a pan on medium heat. Once butter is melted, add gluten free flour and whisk until you form a rough. Add almond milk, chicken broth cube, and nutritional yeast and continue sitrring until sauce thickens.
-
Remove potatoes from oven and evenly distribute cream sauce on top of each stuffed potato. Serve when warm and enjoy!
