MASHED POTATO-SAUSAGE STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375˚ F and butter a 9-by-13-inch or other 3-quart baking dish. Put the potatoes in a large pot; cover with water and season with salt. Bring to a simmer; cook until the potatoes are tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain and keep warm.
• Meanwhile, spread the bread on a baking sheet and bake until lightly toasted around the edges, about 5 minutes.
• Combine 1 tablespoon butter and the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, breaking up the meat into pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 4 minutes. Add 7 tablespoons butter, the onion and celery; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 8 minutes. Stir in the thyme, sage and poultry seasoning, then add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Whisk the half-and-half with the eggs, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Add the warm potatoes and mash; season with salt. Mix in the bread and the sausage mixture. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in the microwave. Transfer the stuffing mixture to the baking dish, then drizzle with the melted butter. Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes, then uncover and continue baking until the top is crisp and golden, 20 to 25 more minutes.

PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH POTATO AND BREAD FILLING

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.
