How to Make Boursin Crab Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub 4 large russet potatoes and pierce several times with a fork. Bake for 1 hour, or until tender.
  2. While potatoes bake, steam 1 bunch asparagus and 5 oz fresh spinach until asparagus is crisp-tender (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked asparagus and spinach with 4 oz Boursin cheese, 1/4 cup milk, and 8 oz lump crab meat.
  4. Once potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice each in half lengthwise. Gently scoop out the potato flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch of potato in each skin. Add the scooped potato flesh to the bowl with the other ingredients.
  5. Mash the mixture until the potato flesh breaks down and the mixture is somewhat smooth. You may need to use a potato masher or gently smash larger chunks against the side of the bowl.
  6. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Fill each potato skin with the crab and potato mixture.
  8. Sprinkle each stuffed potato with 1 tablespoon shredded mozzarella cheese.
  9. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
