Step-by-Step Instructions

πŸ”₯ Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes

βœ” Take each thinly sliced potato round and spread a small amount of the seasoned crab mixture on top.

πŸ’‘ Want extra crunch? Lightly press the crab mixture down so it sticks well before frying.


πŸ”₯ Step 4: Fry to Perfection

βœ” Heat vegetable oil to 350Β°F (175Β°C) in a deep fryer or large pan.
βœ” Carefully place the crab-topped potato rounds into the hot oil.
βœ” Fry until golden brown and crispy (about 2-3 minutes per batch).
βœ” Remove the chips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

πŸ’‘ For an extra punch of flavor, sprinkle more Old Bay seasoning while they’re hot!


Serving & Storage Tips

πŸ”₯ Best served hot and fresh – straight out of the fryer for that ultimate crunch!
πŸ”₯ Want to store leftovers? Keep them in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
πŸ”₯ Reheat in the oven at 350Β°F for 5-7 minutes to bring back the crispiness.
