Follow The Directions

01

Step

Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold, salted water. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the pot and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, approximately 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes thoroughly and allow them to steam dry for 1-2 minutes before mashing until smooth. (Total time: 22 minutes)

02

Step

While the potatoes are cooking, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced celery and minced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent and softened, about 5-7 minutes. (Total time: 7 minutes)

03

Step

Gently fold the sautéed celery and onion mixture, along with the dried summer savory, into the warm mashed potatoes. Allow the mixture to cool slightly until it is just warm to the touch. (Total time: 5 minutes)

04

Step

In a large bowl, combine the cooled potato mixture with the lightly beaten eggs, stirring until well incorporated. Gently fold in the cubed bread until evenly distributed. Season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. (Total time: 5 minutes)

05

Step

Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use. This stuffing can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance. (Total time: 2 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider browning the bread cubes in a skillet with a little butter before adding them to the stuffing.
If you prefer a richer stuffing, you can substitute half-and-half or heavy cream for some of the potato water when mashing the potatoes.
Feel free to adjust the amount of summer savory to your liking. You can also add other herbs such as thyme or rosemary for a more complex flavor profile.
If baking separately, bake in a greased baking dish at 350°F (175°C) for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
