These potatoes are similar to one I had at a crawfish festival in New Orelans. Instead of shrimp and crab in the cheese sauce, it was full of crawfish.

These potatoes are so rich, half of one will probably leave you stuffed.

Cream cheese is mixed into the potato pulp to make extra-creamy double-stuffed potatoes with lots of flavor.

The cheese sauce has four types of cheese for tons of cheese flavor. There’s velvetta, mozzarella, Monterey Jack and Parmesan. The velveeta cheese is important for making the texture of the sauce really smooth and creamy.

This cheesy seafood sauce would also be great over rice or pasta.

Are Potatoes With Seafood Sauce Spicy?

There’s 1 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning added to the sauce. It gives the sauce just a little heat. To make it spicier, add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper and serve with hot sauce.

Heavy On The Seafood

The sauce is full of fresh shrimp and crabmeat. Crawfish or lobster can be used instead of the crab.

Note: This recipe is extremly rich. You can simplify it and make it lighter be serving the sauce over baked potatoes.

How To Store Potatoes With Cheesy Seafood Sauce Leftovers

Refrigerate the double-stuffed potatoes and the cheese sauce separately. They can be reheated in the microwave. Leftovers will keep for about 3 days.

    Will the cajun seasoning make this spicey? I’m wanting to make this for my mom who loves seafood but does not like spicey food. Thanks!
