Ingredients: 2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil; 1 large onion, cut into 1/2-inch dice; 1 (16 ounce) can crab (preferably claw), picked over; 1 1/2 pounds starchy potatoes (such as Idaho), cut into 1/2-inch dice; 2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil; 2 tablespoons ketchup; 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard; 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay TM Seasoning; 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil (or parsley); 2 tablespoons water; Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Servings: persons

2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
1 large onion, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 (16 ounce) can crab (preferably claw), picked over
1 1/2 pounds starchy potatoes (such as Idaho), cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon Old Bay TM Seasoning
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil (or parsley)
2 tablespoons water
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1
Heat 2 tablespoons oil over low heat in a 12-inch non-stick skillet (so potatoes don't stick). While skillet heats, prepare onion and crab as directed above. A few minutes before cooking, increase heat to medium-high. When oil starts to send up wisps of smoke, add onion and crab; cook, stirring often, until golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Meanwhile, dice potatoes and toss with remaining oil. Transfer crab mixture to a bowl and reserve.
2
Add potatoes to empty skillet; cook, stirring only occasionally so they form a golden-brown crust, about 10 minutes. As potatoes cook, mix ketchup, mustard, Old Bay(tm) Seasoning, fresh basil and 2 tablespoons of water. (Recipe can be prepared to this point up to 2 hours ahead. Spread hot potatoes on a large lipped cookie sheet; cover when cool. Return skillet to medium-high; add potatoes and re-crisp.)
3
Return reserved crab mixture to skillet; stir in ketchup mixture, then season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until hash has nicely browned, about 5 minutes longer.
