       4 lg Maine potatoes
       1 lb Backfin or lump
            - crabmeat; picked over
     1/2 c  Green pepper; chopped
     1/2 c  Onion; chopped
       2 tb Mayonnaise
       2 ts Dry mustard
       1 tb Spicy prepared mustard

     1/2 c  Butter; melted
  
   Bake potatoes in oven at 350F for one hour or until tender. Allow
   potatoes to cool.  Cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out
   pulp, leaving shell intact. Set pulp aside. In a large bowl, mix
   together the crabmeat, green pepper, onion, mayonnaise, dry mustard,
   spicy mustard, paprika, and one tablespoon of Old Bay seasoning.
   Place potato skins on a cookie sheet. Spoon equal amounts of crab
   mixture into each potato half. Top the crab mixture with the potato
   filling. Sprinkle the remaining Old Bay seasoning over the potato
   halves. Bake at 350F for 5 to 10 minutes, or until heated through but
   not dried out. Remove from oven and pour the melted butter over the
   potato halves. Makes 4 servings of 2 potato halves each.
