Recipe Notes:

  • Sour Cream: If desired you can use Plain Greek yogurt as a substitute.
  • Cheddar Cheese: Not a fan?  Use your favorite flavor of cheese instead. A easy melting variety will work best.
  • Storage: Store any leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator. They are best eaten within a week.
  • Freezing? Yes! Prepare the potatoes and fill them. Do not bake them a second time!  Store them in a freezer safe, covered storage bag or container.  When you are ready, remove them from storage and let them come to room temperature.  Bake as noted in recipe.
  • Topping Ideas:  Cooked bacon bits, green onions, additional sour cream, or additional cheddar cheese.

Do I Have to Bake the Potatoes in The Oven?

Honestly, no. If you want to cut back your time, pop them in the air fryer or microwave them for a bit before baking them in the oven.  You do want a crispy potato skin, so, avoid cooking them completely in the microwave.

Simple Herb Stuffing- Recipes My Mom Gave Me

With Thanksgiving (in the U.S.) right around the corner, I thought it was the perfect time to share this recipe.  We are kinda unique in our house, we eat stuffing quite a bit, not just for holidays.  My youngest is a huge fan.

This is a simple stuffing that can be made for a small group or a large gathering. Easy and so buttery good!

Ingredients Needed

  • Stuffing cubes, herb seasoned 
  • Butter
  • Chicken broth
  • Dried spices: Minced onion, garlic powder, sage, salt and pepper

Stuffing Cubes

If you don't wish to use stuffing cubes or can't find them, you can also use a classic stuffing mix. I do recommend using a herb seasoned variety. 

Dried Herbs

We are pretty basic when it comes to our herbs.  However, feel free to increase/decrease the amounts as you wish.  A few additional herbs you could try are rosemary, parsley or celery salt.

Can I Add Anything to This Stuffing?

This stuffing is a really basic recipe and can be used as a jumping off point to make it your own. You can add in cooked sausage, chopped celery, dried cranberries or roasted nuts...whatever suits your fancy!
