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.

ROSEMARY-GARLIC POTATO BREAD



Rosemary-Garlic Potato Bread image

I learned the joys of putting potatoes in bread during my time in the Napa Valley, so the flavors here are resonant of that magical place, but don't be afraid to change up the herbs or play with nuts and olives. You can't mess it up. Well, you can - I certainly have more than once - but you know what I mean. You can do this by hand, but it's messy, so I wrote this recipe with directions for using a stand mixer. -Duff

Provided by Duff Goldman

Categories     side-dish

Time 5h30m

Yield 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 large russet potatoes, well-baked and still warm, recipe follows
1 garlic head, roasted and still warm, recipe follows
2 (1/4-ounce) envelopes active dry yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for brushing
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more for sprinkling
4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
4 cups bread flour
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
2 large russet potatoes
Olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 garlic head
Olive oil

Steps:

  • Peel and coarsely chop the potatoes. Squeeze the garlic from the garlic head into a medium bowl and add the potatoes.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the yeast, 2 cups warm water, and the sugar and let the yeast bloom for about 7 minutes, or until bubbly. Add the olive oil, potatoes, garlic, salt, and flours. Mix on medium speed for 15 minutes.
  • Turn the dough out into an oiled bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours, or until doubled in size.
  • Punch it down and let it rise again for 1 hour. Punch it down again and cut the dough in half. Shape each loaf into a ball, place them on a baking sheet, and let them rise for 45 minutes, or until nice and poofy.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Brush the loaves with olive oil and sprinkle them with a wee bit of salt and some rosemary. Cut a big slash across the top of each and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the loaves are a nice rich brown and sound hollow when tapped. Let cool on a wire rack. Never refrigerate!
  • Bake potatoes (preferably russet potatoes - the big brown ubiquitous ones) in the oven. Rub the potatoes with a bit of olive oil, kosher salt, and pepper. Stick 'em with a fork like 20 times all over the place to let the steam out. Place them on a baking sheet and roast at 425 degrees F for 1 hour. The skin will get nice and crispy and you can scoop out the potato meat really easy, and also enjoy the skins as a snack while you bake. (As a poor culinary student, I always saved my potato skins as dinner. How did that bacon end up in my backpack? That's weird!
  • You should know how to roast garlic - it may save your life one day. Heat the oven to 425 degrees F. Chop off the pointy end of the head of the garlic and expose the cloves. Drizzle olive oil right onto the exposed garlic, wrap it tightly with aluminum foil, place on a baking sheet, and roast for 35 to 40 minutes. Really, though, don't time it - just roast them until they smell amazing. You'll know it when you smell it. You'll also know very quickly if you over-roast it - it'll smell awful and burnt. Throw that crap away and start over.

Time 2h45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 medium russet potato (8-9 oz.) cut into chunks
1 c water
3 Tbsp unsalted butter, cut into pieces
4 c bread flour
1 1/2 Tbsp granulated sugar
2 tsp gluten
2 tsp salt
2 1/4 tsp saf yeast or 2 3/4 tsp bread machine yeast or 1 pkg of fast rising yeast

Steps:

  • 1. Combine potato and water in a small saucepan. Simmer, covered, until the potato is tender, abut 10 minutes;slip off the peels. Mash or puree the potatoe with its water (do not drain; you want the water). Pour the potato-water mixture into a 2 cup glass measuring cup and add additional water to make 1 2/3 cups. Cool to room temperature.
  • 2. Place all the ingredients in order specified by the manufacturer of your machine; adding the potato mixture with the liquid ingredients. Set crust to medium and program for the Basic cycle. This recipe will not work with the Delay Timer function. Immediately remove bread from the bread pan and place it on a rack. Let cool to room temperature before slicing. Yeild 1 (2 lb) loaf.

Tips:

  • Select the Right Potatoes: Opt for starchy potatoes like Russets or Yukon Golds for a fluffy and soft bread. Avoid waxy varieties like Red Potatoes or New Potatoes.
  • Cook Potatoes Perfectly: Ensure the potatoes are fork-tender before mashing them. Undercooked potatoes can result in a dense bread, while overcooked ones can make the bread gummy.
  • Use Quality Ingredients: Choose fresh and high-quality ingredients, including butter, milk, flour, and yeast. Good ingredients contribute to a flavorful and successful potato bread.
  • Activate the Yeast Properly: Follow the instructions on the yeast packet for activation. Proofing the yeast in warm milk with sugar allows it to become active and ensures proper rising of the bread.
  • Knead the Dough Adequately: Kneading helps develop the gluten in the dough, resulting in a better texture. Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, but avoid over-kneading as it can make the bread tough.
  • Let the Dough Rise Properly: Allow the dough to rise in a warm place until it doubles in size. This ensures a light and airy bread. If the dough doesn't rise properly, the bread may turn out dense or heavy.
  • Bake at the Right Temperature: Bake the potato bread at the recommended temperature in the recipe. Ovens vary, so adjust the baking time if needed. An underbaked loaf will be doughy, while an overbaked one will be dry.
  • Cool Before Slicing: Let the potato bread cool completely before slicing. This prevents the bread from becoming crumbly and allows the flavors to meld together.

Potato bread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed in various ways. With its soft texture, slightly sweet flavor, and hints of potato, it makes a great addition to any meal.
