Stuffing

Our Family Stuffing Recipe

Stuffing recipes can be the source of many a debate. This one has been passed down from generation to generation and never fails to impress.

The addition of mashed potatoes may seem weird, but give it a try, you won’t be disappointed. It produces a moist stuffing with lovely flavour.

Sometimes I might vary things slightly and in a pan fry an onion in butter with some finely chopped celery, dried sage, parsley and thyme until soft and add to the mixture.

I have lovely memories of robbing some as it was been made in my Grandmothers house at Christmas – some years there was so much robbing happening, another batch had to be produced.

I always make double the quantity needed and wrap well in foil and cling film and freeze. I just cook it in the oven once its defrosted with small cubes of butter on the top.
