Potato stuffing is a culinary tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation in many Latin American families. Its origin dates back to the fusion of indigenous and European ingredients, combined in homemade preparations to accompany main dishes such as chicken or turkey. In different Latin American countries, this dish may have different names: in Mexico, for example, it is simply known as "potato stuffing," while in countries like Colombia and Peru it is usually integrated into preparations for Christmas turkey or chicken. This stuffing stands out for its creamy texture and comforting flavor, highly appreciated at family gatherings and special occasions.

How to prepare Grandma's potato stuffing
To prepare this delicious stuffing, first soak the bread in milk and set it aside. Then, sauté finely chopped celery and onions in margarine over low heat until they are soft and fragrant.
Add the cold or freshly mashed potatoes to the celery and onion mixture, mixing carefully to integrate all the flavors.
Add the seasonings, drain the soaked bread, and combine all the ingredients, making sure the flame is low to prevent the preparation from burning or sticking.
Let the stuffing cool so it firms up, and then, with the help of a spoon, place it into the previously salted cavity of the chicken or turkey, ready to be cooked.
The ingredients needed for this recipe are: celery, onions, margarine, stale bread, milk, potatoes, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper.
