Recipe - Oven Bay Potatoes

4 lg Maine potatoes
1 pound Backfin or lump
crabmeat; picked over
One half cup Green pepper; chopped
One half cup Onion; chopped
2 tablespoon Mayonnaise
2 teaspoon Dry mustard
1 tablespoon Spicy prepared mustard
1 teaspoon Paprika
2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning;
(or other standard
seafood seasoning)
One half cup Butter; melted

Bake potatoes in oven at 350F for one hour or until tender. Allow potatoes
to cool. Cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out pulp, leaving
shell intact. Set pulp aside. In a large bowl, mix together the crabmeat,
green pepper, onion, mayonnaise, dry mustard, spicy mustard, paprika, and
one tablespoon of Old Bay seasoning. Place potato skins on a cookie sheet.
Spoon equal amounts of crab mixture into each potato half. Top the crab
mixture with the potato filling. Sprinkle the remaining Old Bay seasoning
over the potato halves. Bake at 350F for 5 to 10 minutes, or until heated
through but not dried out. Remove from oven and pour the melted butter over
the potato halves. Makes 4 servings of 2 potato halves each.
