Grandmother’s Irish Potato Dressing

SERVES 6 TO 8

Apples add a hint of sweetness to this old-fashioned stuffing, the ideal side for roasted turkey. Making this recipe a day in advance enhances its flavor. Keep in the refrigerator and reheat 20 minutes before serving.

4  large russet potatoes, peeled, rinsed and chopped
2  medium onions, diced
1  cup celery, rinsed and diced
3  large apples, peeled, rinsed, cored and diced
¾  cup Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Blend or arrowroot
½  cup honey or sugar
½  cup cream or milk of choice (hemp, rice, soy milk)
1  teaspoon salt
 ½  teaspoon pepper
2  tablespoons butter or non-dairy butter replacement, optional

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a medium-size Dutch oven or casserole dish.

4. Spoon mixture into prepared dish. Top with diced butter or dairy-free replacement, if desired.
