Instructions
 

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place the peeled and cubed potatoes into a large pot filled with salted water. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and cool slightly before mashing.
  • In a skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the lightly mashed potatoes, sautéed vegetables, crusty bread cubes, chopped parsley, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and beaten egg. Pour this mixture over the potato and bread mixture, tossing gently to coat.
  • Transfer the stuffing mixture to a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly. Bake for approximately 30 minutes until the top is golden and crisp.
  • Remove from the oven and let it sit for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

For the best texture, use starchy potatoes like Russets and avoid overmixing the ingredients.
