Don’t have a go-to stuffing recipe, or just want to try something new? This potato stuffing is full of fragrant herbs, crunchy apples, and creamy Little Potatoes.

Recipe Notes

  • Balance moisture carefully: For perfectly textured potato stuffing, add broth gradually. The mixture should be moist but not wet before baking.

  • Crispy top tip: For a golden, slightly crisp top, bake uncovered during the final 10–15 minutes. If it browns too quickly, loosely tent with foil.

  • Use what you have: This potato stuffing is very versatile. Add sautéed mushrooms, celery, carrots, cooked sausage, dried cranberries, or fresh herbs depending on what you have on hand.

  • Keep it tender: Avoid overmixing the potatoes, which can make the stuffing dense. Stir gently to maintain texture.

  • Boost flavor depth: Sauté onions and aromatics until soft and lightly golden before mixing them in — this builds richer flavor.

  • Make ahead option: Assemble the potato stuffing up to 24 hours in advance, cover tightly, and refrigerate. Add a few extra minutes to the baking time if starting cold.

  • Make it vegetarian: Use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth for a fully vegetarian holiday side dish.

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

  • Freezer tip: Cool completely before freezing. Freeze for up to 2 months and reheat covered in the oven for best texture.

  • Serving suggestion: Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme just before serving for a bright, holiday-ready finish.
