Pennsylvania Dutch Potato Filling image

This was a never before written down recipe handed down from my great grandmother who lived in Berks county, Pennsylvania. I grew up in Lancaster county. My mother makes this every year with her Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. It's great with poultry, or even beef, with your favorite meat gravy. It makes a great substitute...

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3-4 lb russet potatoes, peeled
6-8 slice white bread, torn into coarse crumbs
1/2 c white or yellow onion, chopped
1 Tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 large egg
3 Tbsp salted butter
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 c whole milk

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Boil potatoes in salted water for 1 hour or until they can easily be pierced with a fork. Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon of butter, add onions, and saute until just soft, add bread crumbs and stir over heat until lightly toasted. Melt remaining butter separately, and set aside.
  • 2. Transfer potatoes to a large mixing bowl and add torn bread, onions and remaining ingredients. Whip together with a hand mixer on medium speed until mixture is almost smooth. Mixture should be a fluffy, mashed potato consistency, just a little bit more dense and rich. Transfer potato mixture to a glass 8x8" square baking dish. Drizzle remaining 2 Tablespoons butter over filling.
  • 3. Bake, uncovered, 30-35 minutes or until filling has formed a light crust. Serve.

I used this filling to make potato knishes and they were a huge hit at my party. Everyone loved them!

I'm allergic to onions, so I had to omit them from the recipe. The filling was still delicious, but I think it would have been even better with onions.

This recipe is way too complicated. I ended up giving up and ordering takeout.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my potato filling turned out dry and bland. I'm going to try it again and see if I can get it right.

I made this filling for my pierogies and they were amazing! The potatoes were fluffy and well-seasoned, and the onions added a nice sweetness.
