1

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with enough cold water. Add kosher salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until they are fork-tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
2

Meanwhile, add the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, buttermilk, butter, seafood seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to a food processor; blend until smooth.
3

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
4

Drain the potatoes and mash them in a large bowl. Fold in the cream cheese mixture. Whisk until smooth and combined. Add the crabmeat, stirring gently so it doesn’t break up too much. Spoon the potato mixture into a large oven-safe casserole.
5

Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is bubbly and toasted, about 10 minutes.

Top with chives just before serving.
