Mom's Bread & Potato Stuffing
Someone asked the other day about my mother’s bread and potato stuffing so I thought I would make some so that I could share the recipe. I think bread and potato is a very unique Maritime provinces/New England kind of thing.
I have never seen it done anywhere else, but I could be wrong. This is the stuffing that I grew up with. My mother always made it to go with our Thanksgiving and Christmas turkey’s. Those were the only times during the year that we would have a turkey dinner.
- 5 TBS butter
- 1 large onion, peeled and minced
- 1 large stalk celery, trimmed and diced
- 1 TBS celery leaves, chopped
- 3 pounds potatoes, peeled and quartered (you want to use one which is good for mashing)
- 180ml warm milk (3/4 cup)
- 1 1/2 tsp bells (or poultry) seasoning
- 1/2 tsp summer savory
- 1/2 tsp crumbled sage
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 355g coarse breadcrumbs from a sturdy loaf of white bread (6 cups)
HOW TO MAKE MOM’S BREAD & POTATO STUFFING
- Place the potatoes in a pot of lightly salted water to cover. Bring to the boil and cook until fork tender.
- While the potatoes are cooking melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the onion. Cook, over medium low heat, stirring frequently, until the onion is softened and translucent without browning. Stir in the celery and cook for a few minutes longer. Remove from heat.
- Drain the potatoes and return to the pan. Shake over the heat of the burner to dry them out a bit. Mash together with the warmed milk. Stir in the butter, onion, celery and celery leaves.
- Add the seasonings and breadcrumbs, mixing all well together. Taste and season with salt and black pepper.
- Cool completely and use to stuff a turkey. Alternately pile into a buttered baking dish and bake alongside the turkey for the last half hour of bake time.
