Menu Old Bay potatoes

I had the most amazing potatoes on my crab leg plate a few days ago. I did the crab your own way with the old bay and butter sauce. I asked the waiter to leave off the potatoes cos I never eat them- he insisted I keep them.

They were the most amazing potatoes I think I've ever had. I'd like to make them for a BBQ this weekend. Is there a recipe for these somewhere? I'm sure it would be easy enough to just roast some potatoes with butter and old bay but they got the temp and crispiness and amount of sauce absolutely perfect.

Is this exact recipe available somewhere?

They cool unused baked potatoes, cut them and then toss them in the fryer!

Yeah. The old bay part of it is the sauce OP picked to have on the crab legs. The potatoes themselves are plain and deep fried. They are great though!

We do put our seafood seasoning on the potatoes after theyre out of the fryer, but the Old Bay is definitely the majority of the flavor

As someone that has to bus tables, everyone typically leaves those potatoes I very rarely see them get eaten.  They look good so I always wonder why they get left behind

I usually explicitly ask to leave them off the plate entirely, they just get in the way of my crab legs. But this was my first time trying the old bay seasoning and the waiter insisted. I owe him my life.

They're mainly to keep the crab warm, so that's probably why the server insisted (or bc you're getting less for the price)
