5 beaten eggs
1/4 cup Parkay margarine
1 onion (finely chopped)
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 center rib (heart) of celery (including leaves) - chopped
3/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper

In a cast iron skillet over medium heat add Parkay--melt. Add chopped onions, chopped celery and chopped parsley--cook/stir until celery is tender. Remove from heat. In a large bowl add mashed potatoes and beaten eggs--mix with a fork. Add broken bread pieces, celery mixture, salt and pepper--mix with your hands. Spread the mixture into a greased long Pyrex dish--use a wooden spoon to smooth out the top of the filling. Bake at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until lightly browned on top.
