| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash the baking potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. |
| 2 | Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, carefully halve them lengthwise. With a spoon, gently scoop out the potato pulp into a mixing bowl, leaving behind a thin shell. Set the hollowed-out potato shells aside. |
| 3 | Mash the potato pulp in the mixing bowl along with butter, half-and-half cream, salt, and pepper until you achieve a smooth consistency. |
| 4 | Using a fork, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions until they are evenly distributed throughout the mashed potatoes. |
| 5 | Gently fold in the crab meat until it is well incorporated into the potato mixture. |
| 6 | Carefully stuff the potato shells with the crab and potato mixture, ensuring they are evenly filled. |
| 7 | Place the stuffed potato halves back onto the baking sheet and return them to the oven. Bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the filling is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly. |
| 8 | Once done, remove the crab-stuffed potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the delectable flavors and irresistible aroma! |
