My mother used to make potato stuffing at Thanksgiving. It's been
years and years since I've had it but I think it was just mashed
idaho potatos with sauted onions and lots and lots of Bell's
Seasoning - and milk, butter, and salt and pepper.

It didn't get stuffed into a turkey or baked in a casserole. It was
just lumpy mashed potatoes with onions and Bell's. She also made
plain mashed potatoes and a bread stuffing.
