Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

These little potato bites make a killer appetizer. Spuds stuffed with a mixture of cream cheese, crab and bacon are like the best bite of a baked potato, but for every bite.

ingredients
12 small red potatoes, about 2 inches in diameter
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
Bacon Crabmeat Filling
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
5 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
8 ounces fresh crabmeat, flaked
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
1/4 cup chopped green onions
directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Cut the potatoes in half. With a teaspoon or melon baller scoop out the middle of each potato half, leaving about 1/4 inch of the edge. Place the potatoes cut-side up in a shallow roasting pan.
Combine the mustard, olive oil and seasoning and mix well. Brush the tops of the potatoes with the mustard mixture. Bake until the potatoes are tender, about 40 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
For the Filling: Combine all filling ingredients in a small bowl and mix lightly until combined. Place about 1 to 2 tablespoons of the filling in the center of each potato. (The amount of filling required varies according to the size of the potato halves.)
Return the stuffed potatoes to the roasting pan and bake at 425 degrees F for an additional 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
Garnish with minced green onions, if desired.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

We harvest our own dungy crab and I needed some new recipes to try and i had extra potatoes laying around so I thought this would be a good choice. Oh am I glad I found this recipe. The 1st time i made it i took it to a friends house for dinner, its a good thing i only made enough for us to only have 2 a piece or we would have ruined our appitite for this lovely fresh king salmon dinner he had caught that morning.Im making it tonight for some new folks, weâll see if it passes the test!

I absolutely loved these. carving the potatoes a bit of task, but so worthwhile. I baked the skins at 425F but only for 30 mins in convention oven, they were perfect.
Can these be made ahead, frozen and cooked when needed?
Some potato recipes freeze well but I don't feel this one would.

Instead of crab I used chopped shrimp. The filling was very tasty. The little bites were very easy to eat I was worried the might kind of fall apart but they didn't.

A huge hit at our taste-testing party. The little bites of potato were perfect appetizer size.
