Imitation Crab and Potato Salad

Imitation Crab and Potato Salad

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups imitation flaked crab, patted dry
  • 4 large hard boiled eggs, roughly chopped
  • 3 large white flesh potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces, boiled in salted water until just tender
  • ½ cup cucumber, diced
  • 1 cup canned corn, drained well
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp. champagne, rice or apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ cup fresh dill, chopped
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • ¾ tsp. ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Once the potatoes are washed and chopped, add them to a large pot and cover the potatoes with cold water.
  • Add a good pinch of salt and bring to a boil; cook until potatoes are fork-tender; drain and set aside to cool slightly.
  • In the meanwhile, open the package of crab and gently separate the chunks and lay them into a single layer on paper towels.
  • Lay another sheet of paper towel over top and gently press to absorb some of the moisture from the crab; set the crab aside.
  • Next, to a large mixing bowl, add the mayonnaise, vinegar, salt, pepper and fresh dill; use a spatula to mix the dill into the mayo.
  • Add the cooled potato chunks to the bowl with the chopped cucumber, diced hard boiled egg and the corn; gently toss to coat with the mayonnaise mixture.
  • Finally, add in the crab and very gently mix into the potato salad; imitation crab is delicate so you don’t want to be too aggressive as it will break up the pieces.
  • Once fully mixed through, transfer to a food-safe container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • Salad can be made in advance and will keep for 2 to 3 days covered and refrigerated.
