We also use equal amounts of celery and onion, and add LOTS of poultry seasoning to taste. I personally find it easier to use seasoned bread stuffing cubes in my filling rather than the cubed bread.

It was a ;surprise to see this recipe. I make a similar stuffing for our turkey. Mashed potatoes in turkey broth, unseasoned bread cubes, celery, onion, sage and poultry seasoning. Mix all together and use to stuff your turkey or bake around the bird. I do both. This recipe has been handed down from my Great Grandma who was a German immigrant. We love it.<\/p>","CommentId":8,"DateRated":"05\/31\/2018 23:44","GUID":"a06fe47bc2b84f35b97fc04da8134c64","MemberId":5010571,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"CJWilcox","SubmittedDate":"05\/31\/2018 23:44"},{"Comment":"
I was raised in Berks County, PA (Kutztown)....and Potato Filling (as we call it) is still a staple for holiday dinners, particularly Thanksgiving and Christmas! I've never seen a recipe come so close as this one to the way I make it .....without a recipe. My method is different in that I saute the veggies, add milk and breadcrumbs and then dump it all into the hot, cooked, drained, potatoes, add an egg and seasonings and mash it all together before turning it into a buttered casserole dish....(hopefully the day before!) When baking, I dot the top with butter. My family LOVES this dish! .....and then as a side...Cope's dried corn, stewed! Yum!<\/p>","CommentId":9,"DateRated":"04\/28\/2018 14:19","GUID":"b713d0fd58d04efaa0ce48133a891f52","MemberId":8155395,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"myoder126","SubmittedDate":"04\/28\/2018 14:19"},{"Comment":"
Hands up for the Lebanon County, PA ladies on here - I'm one too! Heavy PA Dutch heritage on both sides of my family. This is a Thanksgiving staple made with 5lbs of potatoes, but I will note some differences in our family recipe. The bread cubes are not added to the sauted veggies but in facted toasted in the oven seperately. Assembly is a little different - make mashed potatoes with the milk and butter then egg, fold in sauted veggies and then fold in the toasted bread cubes. Put into baking dish and dot with butter on top. We normally prep this at least a day in advace to let flavors mix. Bake it so that you get a \"crust\" on top....we have top crust worshippers at our table and creamy-only eaters. No matter - it is all delish!<\/p>","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"04\/27\/2018 13:55","GUID":"20b28a62ec414a6192191f4254de7eb9","MemberId":6252990,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"jenrsnyder","SubmittedDate":"04\/27\/2018 13:55"},{"Comment":"
Would someone please provide cup measurements for bread cubes and mashed potato? What's listed is pretty vague for making the first time. Thank you.<\/p>","CommentId":11,"DateRated":"","GUID":"22281f021a5e4175923f0fb8ba5dcfc7","MemberId":6512256,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"kedman","SubmittedDate":"04\/24\/2018 15:36"},{"Comment":"
This is a mandatory addition to any PA Dutch holiday meal! This is practically the same 'recipe' that has been handed down for generations in both sides of my family. As others have said, we don't all make our filling the same here in PEE-AY = ) My family's tweaks are, we mash our potatoes first, then add the sauteed veggies and everything else and use about twice as much butter. We also use equal amounts of celery and onion, and add LOTS of poultry seasoning to taste. I personally find it easier to use seasoned bread stuffing cubes in my filling rather than the cubed bread. One cup of milk might make it too soupy. Remember to stir the filling occasionally while baking so it doesn't get too browned on the outsides of the bowl.<\/p>","CommentId":12,"DateRated":"03\/06\/2018 16:37","GUID":"bc1cce18e29e4f728f9ee59f102289ab","MemberId":7019607,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"Jane","SubmittedDate":"03\/06\/2018 16:37"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"03\/04\/2018 08:39","GUID":"28b6d73525ce40ce932d388eb63f6743","MemberId":9427572,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"Richard","SubmittedDate":"03\/04\/2018 08:39"},{"Comment":"
This is not a criticism of this recipe, but a question about alternatives. What about using Chicken stock for some or all of the milk, and also adding cheddar cheese (equal amount to onion)?<\/p>","CommentId":14,"DateRated":"03\/01\/2018 17:51","GUID":"F598C991912C42AC8A450A64930C118A","MemberId":2594699,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"gnmcewen","SubmittedDate":"03\/01\/2018 17:51"},{"Comment":"
My family is also from Pennsylvania, Lebanon county to be exact. This recipe is very close to what we do. As others have said, I equal the onion and celery, and also mash the potatoes first. I will also double the amount of butter used, generally dotting the top before baking. I sometimes will also cut back on the milk, adding fresh oysters to the mix. A VERY tasty option. Potato filling is a must have for ALL holiday meals.....ALWAYS keeping my Pennsylvania Dutch roots close.<\/p>","CommentId":15,"DateRated":"03\/01\/2018 14:09","GUID":"36a5837f9a3b4f6ab901f7d3fc4814d9","MemberId":5288561,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"CGingrich","SubmittedDate":"03\/01\/2018 14:09"},{"Comment":"
My mother's family is Pennsylvania Dutch and this is similar to our family recipe. Difference is in our recipe the amount of celery equals the amount of onion and we use mashed potatoes in an amount equal to the bread cubes, plus some sage. The texture is not expected to be crunchy.<\/p>","CommentId":16,"DateRated":"03\/01\/2018 01:13","GUID":"d9859ffacf03434daa5eb4b94c3f5656","MemberId":8207604,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"Hendr001","SubmittedDate":"03\/01\/2018 01:13"},{"Comment":"
Very tasty. Was disappointed that the bread didn't add more crunch.
