Step-by-Step Process: Crafting Crab and Caviar Twice-Baked Potato Perfection

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Pierce the potatoes with a fork a few times and bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
2. While the potatoes bake, melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
3. Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in half lengthwise. Using a spoon or melon baller, carefully scoop out the flesh, leaving a 1/4-inch border around the edges.
4. In a large bowl, mash the potato flesh until smooth. Add the shallot mixture, creme fraiche, chives, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Gently fold in the crabmeat.
5. Fill the potato skins with the crab mixture and drizzle with the remaining melted butter. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
6. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Top each potato with a dollop of caviar and a sprinkle of fresh chives (optional). Serve immediately and savor the luxurious combination of creamy potatoes, succulent crab, and decadent caviar!
