Crab Meat Topping

Method
Prepare the Fries
- 1
Cut the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to form fries, about 1/4 inch thick.
- 2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes them crispier.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Fry the Potatoes
Drain the soaked fries and pat them dry with a paper towel. Carefully add them to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Season with salt immediately.
Prepare the Crab Meat Topping
- 5
Mix the Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine the lump crab meat, cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped green onions, Old Bay seasoning, and lemon juice. Mix gently to avoid breaking up the crab meat too much.
- 6
Chill the Mixture
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the crab meat topping for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Assemble the Dish
