1
Prepare the Water
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.
2
Cook the Crab
Once the water is boiling, add the snow crab legs. Cover and steam for 5-7 minutes, or until heated through.

3
Melt the Butter
In a small saucepan, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter over low heat until it is fully melted. Keep warm.

4
Boil the Potatoes
Peel and cube the potatoes, then place them in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
5
Mash the Potatoes
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add 1 cup of milk, 4 tablespoons of butter, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

6
Plate the Dish
Serve the steamed snow crab legs with drawn butter on the side, accompanied by a generous scoop of mashed potatoes.
