Description
This moist potato stuffing is made with mashed potatoes, cubed bread, onion, and celery; perfect for stuffing a turkey or baking in loaf pans.
Ingredients
•
3 potatoes, peeled and cubed
•
1/2 cup butter
•
2 celery stalks, finely chopped
•
1 large onion, minced
•
2 tablespoons dried summer savory
•
2 eggs, beaten
•
6 slices bread, cut into cubes
•
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
1
Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two, then mash.
2
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook the celery and onion in the butter until the onion has turned translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Fold into the mashed potatoes along with the savory, and allow to cool until just warm.

Place the cooled mashed potatoes into a large bowl, and stir in the beaten egg. Gently fold in cubed bread, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.
