1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the potatoes if desired. Cut them into halves or quarters for even cooking.
2
Boil the Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15-20 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside.
3
Cook the Crab Legs
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add the king crab legs and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until heated through.
4
Prepare the Clarified Butter
In a small saucepan, melt the clarified butter over low heat until warm. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
5
Serve
Arrange the boiled potatoes on a plate, add the crab legs, and serve with warm clarified butter and lemon wedges on the side.
