Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).

02

Step
10 mins

Cook lobster: Combine water and salt in a large pot; bring to a boil. Plunge lobster into boiling water, cover the pot, and return to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook at a simmer until lobster turns bright red, about 10 minutes. Remove lobster from water and set aside to cool.

03

Step
15 mins

When cool enough to handle, clean lobster and pull out tail meat, reserving the tail shell. Crack claws and remove meat. Chop tail meat coarsely and reserve with the intact claw meat in a covered dish; keep warm in the preheated oven.

04

Step
25 mins

Make potatoes: Add potatoes to a large saucepan and cover with water by 1 inch. Add salt; bring to a boil. Lay intact lobster tail shell over potatoes, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook at a simmer until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, 20 to 30 minutes.

05

Step
10 mins

Remove lobster shell and discard. Drain water from the saucepan. Reduce heat to low. Gently shake the pan over low heat to dry potatoes. Mash butter into potatoes until no lumps remain. Add cream until desired consistency is reached.

06

Step
5 mins

Fold warm lobster meat into potatoes. Sprinkle with paprika to serve.

For an even richer flavor, try using half-and-half or crème fraîche instead of cream.
Feel free to adjust the amount of lobster to your preference. More lobster means more indulgence!
If you don't have a whole lobster on hand, you can substitute with lobster tails or pre-cooked lobster meat. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
Consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or fresh chives to the mashed potatoes for an extra layer of flavor.

    I've made this recipe several times, and it's always a winner. I sometimes add a squeeze of lemon juice to brighten up the flavor.
