Cozy Amish Potato Stuffing

Category: Lunch

This comforting salad mixes peeled Russet potatoes with butter, chicken broth, soft onions, and celery plus sage and thyme for an herby kick. The potatoes get cooked in broth first, then everything’s combined and baked without a cover until the top is golden and warm. It’s a filling but not heavy side that goes well with pretty much any main meal.

Quick and easy, using classic ingredients, this dish brings that homey Amish feel right to your plate. You can mix in sausage or bacon if you want a little extra flavor.

Frequently Asked Cooking Questions

→ What type of potatoes work best?

Russet potatoes are the way to go since their starchy texture makes for smooth mashing and they soak up flavors nicely.

→ Can I prepare this ahead of time?

You sure can. Put it together a day early and keep it cold in the fridge. Just bake it right before you want to eat for best taste.

→ How do the herbs affect the flavor?

Sage and thyme give the dish earthy, nice-smelling tastes that blend well with the buttery veggies and potatoes.

→ Is it possible to make this vegetarian?

Yes, swap out the chicken broth for vegetable broth to keep it veggie-friendly without losing flavor.

→ What's the best way to get a golden top?

Bake it at 350°F without covering so the top gets a light golden crust but stays moist inside.
