Step-by-Step Instructions
🔥 Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
✔ Boil the russet potatoes until tender.
✔ Once cooled, peel and slice them into thin rounds (a mandoline slicer works best for this).
💡 Pro Tip: Thinner slices = crispier chips!
🔥 Step 2: Make the Crab Mixture
✔ In a large bowl, combine fresh crab meat, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt.
✔ Mix well until the flavors are evenly distributed.

🔥 Step 3: Assemble the Chips
✔ Take each thinly sliced potato round and spread a small amount of the seasoned crab mixture on top.
💡 Want extra crunch? Lightly press the crab mixture down so it sticks well before frying.
🔥 Step 4: Fry to Perfection
✔ Heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) in a deep fryer or large pan.
✔ Carefully place the crab-topped potato rounds into the hot oil.
✔ Fry until golden brown and crispy (about 2-3 minutes per batch).
✔ Remove the chips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
💡 For an extra punch of flavor, sprinkle more Old Bay seasoning while they’re hot!
Serving & Storage Tips
🔥 Best served hot and fresh – straight out of the fryer for that ultimate crunch!
🔥 Want to store leftovers? Keep them in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
🔥 Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes to bring back the crispiness.
