Ingredients

  • 5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces

  • ¼ cup kosher salt

  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt

  • 1 cup buttermilk

  • 1 stick butter, cut into pieces

  • 2 teaspoons seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 2 pounds lump crabmeat

  • 1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Directions

  1. Place potatoes in a large pot with enough cold water to cover. Add kosher salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until fork-tender, 15 to 20 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, combine cream cheese, Greek yogurt, buttermilk, butter, seafood seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a food processor; blend until smooth.

  3. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

  4. Drain potatoes and mash in a large bowl. Fold in cream cheese mixture. Whisk until smooth and blended. Add in crabmeat, stirring carefully to avoid breaking it up too much. Spoon potato mixture into a large, oven-safe casserole.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is bubbly and toasted, about 10 minutes.

  6. Top with chives just before serving.

Cook's Note:

I use Irish butter and lump king crabmeat.
