Ingredients

• 1 pound lobster meat, cooked and chopped
• 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, divided
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup lobster stock or seafood broth
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• Salt, to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Fresh herbs (such as chives or parsley), for garnish

How to Make Lobster and Mashed Potato Stack

1. Begin by boiling the potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
2. Add 1/4 cup of butter and heavy cream to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside to keep warm.
3. In a medium saucepan, melt the remaining 1/4 cup of butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk constantly for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
4. Slowly add the lobster stock while whisking to avoid lumps. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
5. Stir in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
6. To assemble the stacks, use a ring mold or a small bowl. Start with a layer of mashed potatoes at the bottom, followed by a layer of chopped lobster. Repeat the layers, finishing with a layer of mashed potatoes on top.
7. Carefully remove the mold and repeat for the remaining stacks.
8. Drizzle the rich sauce over each stack and garnish with fresh herbs before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the potatoes are fully cooked for a smooth mash.
• Use high-quality lobster for the best flavor.
• Adjust the sauce consistency by adding more or less stock as desired.
• For added richness, you can incorporate a splash of white wine into the sauce.

Easy Variations

• Substitute crab meat for lobster if desired.
• For a spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sauce.
• Experiment with different herbs for garnishing, such as dill or tarragon.

What to Serve With It

• A crisp green salad with a citrus vinaigrette.
• Roasted asparagus or green beans for a fresh side.
• Garlic bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
• A light white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc, to complement the seafood.
