Directions
1.
In a covered large saucepan, cook potatoes in enough boiling, lightly salted water to cover about 15 minutes or just until tender. Drain in colander. Cool.
2.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine imitation crabmeat and 1 tablespoon of the chives. Gently fold in salad dressing. Cover and chill for 2 hours.
3.
Halve potatoes. Using a melon baller, hollow out potato halves slightly. Cut a thin slice from the bottom of each potato half so the stuffed potato won't tip. (Discard potato trimmings or use to make a potato salad.) Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover and chill.
4.
Spoon crab mixture into potato halves. Top with remaining 1 tablespoon chives.

Made-Ahead Directions
Prepare potatoes as directed in Step 1; cover and chill for up to 24 hours. Prepare crab mixture as directed in Step 2; cover and chill for up to 24 hours. Fill potatoes as directed in Steps 3 and 4; cover and chill for up to 4 hours before serving.
