Pennsylania Dutch Potato filling

  • 1

Ingredients

  • Ingredients:
  • 4 slices potato bread, toasted and cubed
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 5 cups leftover mashed potatoes (I used leftovers from this)
  • 2 tablespoons parsley
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • sea salt
  • freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350. Spray with cooking spray or grease a 8x8 inch baking dish. Melt the butter in a large skillet. Add the celery and onion and saute until the onion is translucent (do not brown!), about 5 minutes. Add the bread cubes and saute until they are warmed through.

Add the mixture to a large bowl. Stir in the remaining ingredients until all ingredients are evenly distributed*. Pour into the prepared pan.

*Some mashed potatoes are moister than others. If your mixture looks dry, add some chicken or turkey stock to moisten and thin the mixture out a bit.

I added four slices of crumbled slab bacon and wowed my family including the grand babies!

I used to make this every Thanksgiving when I cooked for a crowd. Rarely had any leftovers.

I never used leftover mashed potatoes, though, because I used to make breakfast potato pancakes using the same ingredients except the bread if I had leftover mashed potatoes and then would fry them. I did have leftover filling once and did the same thing.
