Steps
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Wash the potatoes well , then pat dry and place in center of oven rack , being sure to leave some space between potatoes for hot air to circulate.
Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes or until soft to the touch.
Meanwhile , very coarsely grate the cheese.
Then , pick over the crabmeat: spread the crabmeat out on a large , flat cookie sheet then pick up each lump and visually look for thin , transparent pieces of shell.
Remove the shell fragments , trying not to break up lumps of crabmeat.
Return crabmeat to refrigerator.
About 20 minutes before the potatoes are done , set the butter and cream out to get to room temperature.
When the potatoes are done , remove from oven and let sit 15 minutes until cool enough to handle.
Turn the potatoes once to let both sides of the skin dry out.
With a very sharp bread knife , cut the potatoes in half lengthwise , cutting across the widest part so the potato shells will sit flat.
Scoop out the potato meat with a soup s.
