NANA'S PA DUTCH POTATO AND BREAD FILLING

This is my Nana's mother's recipe, which was probably her mother's (who only spoke Pa-German). Nana made this every holiday with turkey and ham. It's a bit of work, but well worth it. Nana always made it the day before and baked it the day of eating it.

PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH POTATO FILLING



Pennsylvania Dutch Potato Filling image

These potatoes are perfect for Thanksgiving and Christmas! They are my husband's family tradition in Pennsylvania. This is the actual recipe from my husband's great-grandmother. I cut it down by a third for my family of 4. But I have given you the full recipe so you can cut it however you would like. There is a family 'secret ingredient' that I have never been told and so it's not in this recipe :( I believe it will still be yummy without the 'secret,' but if you happen to know what that is, then add it in ;)

Time 2h30m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 7

10 pounds potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 cups butter, divided
3 onions, diced
1 bunch celery, diced
1 ½ cups milk, divided
3 tablespoons seasoned salt, divided
1 (1 1/4 pound) loaf of white bread, torn into pieces, or as desired - divided

Steps:

  • Place the potato cubes 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 25 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two.
  • Melt 1/2 cup of butter in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir the onions and celery until they are reduced and browned, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 glass baking dishes, each 9x13 inches.
  • Place another 1/2 cup of butter into the work bowl of a stand mixer, and add the cooked potatoes. Start the mixer on Low setting. While mixer is running, pour in 1 cup of milk, and add 1 tablespoon of seasoned salt and 4 slices of torn bread. Mix those ingredients briefly into the mixture, and pour in 1/2 cup of milk and 4 more bread slices. Mix that addition, and then mix in 2 more bread slices.
  • After the last 2 bread slices have been roughly incorporated, place another 1/2 cup of butter, 1 tablespoon of seasoned salt, all the onions, celery, and butter from the skillet, and 4 more slices of bread into the mixer bowl. Mix to incorporate, and finally mix in 2 to 4 additional torn bread slices. Allow the mixer to run until the dressing is the desired consistency.
  • Place half the dressing into each prepared baking dish, and top the dressing with the remaining 1/2 cup of butter, cut into thin slices and scattered over the top. Sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon of seasoned salt evenly over the top of the dishes. Cover the dishes with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the dressing is browned, about 1 hour.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect bread:potato ratio, use one pound of bread for every two pounds of potatoes.
  • When using day-old bread, ensure it's not too dry; if it is, lightly spritz it with water before combining it with the other ingredients.
  • For a crispier filling, brown the butter before adding the bread and potatoes.
  • Feel free to add your favorite seasonings to the filling, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried parsley.
  • If you don't have a meat grinder, you can grate the potatoes using the large holes of a box grater.
  • Be careful not to overcook the filling; it should be cooked through but still have a slight crunch to it.
