How to Make Amish Mashed Potato Filling Dressing

  1. Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 2 cups of diced celery and 1 cup of diced onion to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 8 cups of cubed day-old bread.
  4. Pour the cooked celery and onion mixture over the bread cubes. Mix well to combine.
  5. In a small bowl, steep 1/4 teaspoon of saffron threads in 1/2 cup of boiling water for 5 minutes to create a vibrant saffron infusion.
  6. Add the saffron infusion to the bread mixture and stir until evenly distributed.
  7. Add 2 cups of mashed potatoes, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of poultry seasoning, and 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley to the bread mixture. Mix well after each addition.
  8. Gradually stir in 1 1/2 cups of milk (or more, as needed) until the dressing is moist but not soggy. The finished product should be very moist.
  9. Pour the dressing into two well-greased 9x13 inch casserole dishes (or one large 9x13 inch baking dish).
  10. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
