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.

PENNSYLVANIA STUFFING



Pennsylvania Stuffing image

So I live in Texas now. They call stuffing "dressing" and make it with cornbread and sausage. I've been making my Yankee stuffing and taking it to potlucks. This recipe is from my mom, who got it from her friend's grandma. I think it has Pennsylvania Dutch roots. I love it.

Time 2h

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 lbs potatoes, washed and peeled
milk
butter
salt and pepper
2 medium onions, chopped
3 large celery ribs, chopped (and leaves)
1 cup butter, melted
2 eggs
14 ounces seasoned stuffing mix (I use Pepperidge Farm HerbSeasoned stuffing mix. You could also just use bread cubes or old bread.)
1 tablespoon dried parsley
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Boil the potatoes until they're tender, then make mashed potatoes with them. (I just add milk and butter till they look right, I don't measure -- so feel free to make the mashed potatoes however you want, but make them a little bit wetter than you normally would, since they're going to be baked.).
  • While the potatoes are cooking, melt one cup of butter in a large skillet over medium high heat and saute the celery and onions until soft. (I know, it's not healthy. But it's delicious.).
  • Add most of the bag of stuffing mix to the butter, celery and onions and stir it in (Again, just estimate. I think I leave about a cup and a half of stuffing mix in the bag and use the rest). Cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes.
  • Stir the onion, celery and stuffing mixture into the mashed potatoes.
  • Mix in 1 tablespoon dried parsley, 2 eggs, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Pour into a LARGE greased casserole dish. (I use the stoneware from my crock pot.).
  • Cover and bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 30-60 minutes, or until lightly browned on top.

PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH POTATO AND BREAD FILLING



Pennsylvania Dutch Potato and Bread Filling image

In Pennsylvania Dutch County, we call it "filling." It is a potato and bread filling. I never measure, so this is what I do.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 large potatoes, cut in pieces
2 medium onions, chopped
6 stalks celery, chopped small
Enough vegetable oil for saute
8-10 pieces of old bread, broken into bite-size pieces
1/4 to 1/2 cup milk
4 raw eggs, beaten
Salt and pepper
Salt and pepper
4-5 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped fine
1-2 tablespoons poultry seasoning
Stock from the giblets and neck
Stock from the giblets and neck
1/2 stick of butter, cut into pieces

Steps:

  • Boil potatoes in salted water. Saute onion and celery in oil. Add salt and pepper to taste. Boil the giblets and neck in salted water to make stock.
  • Moisten bread with milk. Smash the potatoes in a large bowl. (I use a small roasting pan, and then I roast the filling right in it.) Add all other ingredients including all spices and oil from saute. When adding the eggs, add a little of the hot mixture to the eggs first and beat well, so as to not scramble them when they go into the whole mix.
  • Mix thoroughly. If it needs more moisture, add the stock, a little at a time. Taste to make sure enough spices are added. Add more salt and pepper and poultry seasoning, if needed.
  • Bake at 350 degrees in a greased casserole dish or roasting pan until very hot and browned, usually one hour. Dot the top with pats of butter before putting into oven. I know some people chop the giblets and add to the filling, but I don't.

DUTCH POTATO POULTRY STUFFING

For as far as we can trace, all my ancestors were Pennsylvania Dutch. Add to that the fact my father was a potato farmer, and you see why we never had a holiday dinner without potato "filling" (Pennsylvania Dutch for stuffing)! My husband and I have three grown daughters and seven grandchildren.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Choose the best bread, vegetables, and spices you can find.
  • Don't overstuff the stuffing: The stuffing should be moist and fluffy, not dense and dry. Err on the side of less stuffing rather than more.
  • Bake the stuffing uncovered: This will help the stuffing to get crispy on top and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Let the stuffing rest before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the stuffing to set. Serve at room temperature.
  • Experiment with different ingredients: There are many different ways to make Pennsylvania stuffing. Feel free to add your own favorite ingredients, such as chopped nuts, dried fruit, or herbs.

Conclusion:

Pennsylvania stuffing is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or as a main course. With its rich flavor and hearty texture, it's sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So next time you're looking for a new stuffing recipe, be sure to give Pennsylvania stuffing a try. You won't be disappointed!
