Print Recipe

A traditional Jewish dish, Passover potato pie is a savory delight with a crispy golden crust and soft, flavorful interior. Perfect for Seder or as a comforting side, this pie is made with kosher ingredients and filled with nostalgic flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 large potatoes (Russet preferred)
  • 2 medium onions, diced
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup matzo meal (or potato starch for gluten-free)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil (or schmaltz for richer flavor)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Optional garnishes: Paprika, fresh parsley, or dill

Instructions

  • Prep the Potatoes:
    • Peel and grate potatoes. Soak in cold water for 10 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain well and pat dry.
  • Caramelize the Onions:
    • In a skillet, heat olive oil or schmaltz over medium heat. Add diced onions and sauté until golden and fragrant. Set aside.
  • Mix the Ingredients:
    • In a large bowl, combine grated potatoes, caramelized onions, eggs, matzo meal, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
  • Preheat the Oven and Dish:
    • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place your baking dish inside while the oven heats.
  • Assemble and Bake:
    • Grease the hot baking dish with a little olive oil. Pour the potato mixture in, spreading evenly. Drizzle a bit more olive oil on top for a crisp crust.
    • Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy.
  • Serve and Enjoy:
    • Let the pie rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley or paprika for added flavor.

Notes

  • Texture Tip: Whip egg whites separately and fold them into the mixture for a fluffier pie.
  • Substitutions: Use potato starch instead of matzo meal for a gluten-free version.
  • Storage: Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best texture.
  • Serving Suggestions: Pair with matzo ball soup, roasted lamb, or green beans.
