Servings: 8 Servings
Ingredients
- ½ pound lobster in shells (we used lobster tails)
- 2 pounds Idaho potatoes washed, peeled, and diced into 1-inch cubes
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- ⅓ cup heavy cream
- ¼ tsp. tarragon
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Additional melted butter and chives for garnish
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Place the lobster tails in the water, and boil for 4 to 5 minutes. The tails should become bright red in color and the meat should be fully cooked. Remove the tails from the water, and allow them to cool until they’re easy to handle.½ pound lobster
- Remove the meat from the tails, chop into bite-sized pieces, and set aside. Reserve the tails for the next step.
- Bring another large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and the empty lobster tails. Boil the potatoes for about 15 minutes, or until they are fork tender. Drain the water and discard the lobster tails.2 pounds Idaho potatoes
