    Prepare the Ingredients

    Cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces.

    Slice potatoes into thin rounds.

    Coarsely crush crackers.

    Zest and halve lemon. Cut one half into wedges and juice the other half.

    Using lid, press excess liquid out of crab.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cottage Fries

    Add potatoes and 2 tsp olive oil and garlic pepper to bowl and gently combine.

    Transfer potatoes to one side of prepared baking sheet and top with Parmesan.
