Crab Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients

• 5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 0.25 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
• 1.5 cups shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Steps

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.
