Ingredients
  

For the Fries

  • 1 pound Russet potatoes peeled and cut into fries
  • 0.5 cup Vegetable oil for frying
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt

For the Crab Mixture

  • 1 pound Lump crab meat drained and picked over for shells
  • 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 0.5 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley chopped
  • 0.5 teaspoon Lemon juice
  • 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Optional Toppings

  • Chopped chives
  • Extra Old Bay seasoning

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If you have a deep fryer, you can also use that to cook the fries.
  • In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, chopped parsley, lemon juice, and black pepper. Mix well.
  • Gently fold in the lump crab meat until just combined. Be careful not to break up the crab too much.
  • If oven-baking: Toss the potato fries with vegetable oil and salt on a baking sheet. Spread in a single layer. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  • If deep-frying: Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 375°F (190°C). Fry the potatoes in batches for about 4-6 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.
  • Once the fries are cooked and still warm, top them generously with the crab mixture.
  • Broil for 1-2 minutes until the crab mixture is heated through and lightly golden, or serve as is.
  • Garnish with chopped chives and extra Old Bay seasoning, if desired.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

This recipe is best enjoyed fresh. You can adjust the Old Bay seasoning to your preference.
