This Passover Potato Pie is crispy on the outside and tender inside, making it a perfect side dish for your Passover Seder. Made with simple, kosher-for-Passover ingredients, it’s a delicious and satisfying alternative to chametz.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and grated
  • 1 large onion, grated
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • ¼ cup potato starch (or matzo meal)
  • ¼ cup olive oil or schmaltz (plus more for greasing)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes

  1. Grate the potatoes using a box grater or food processor.
  2. Place the grated potatoes in a clean towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
  3. Grate the onion and mix with the potatoes.

Step 2: Mix the Ingredients

  1. In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, onion, beaten eggs, potato starch, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Stir in the olive oil or schmaltz.

Step 3: Bake the Pie

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with olive oil.
  3. Pour the potato mixture into the dish and spread evenly.
  4. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  5. For extra crispiness, broil for the last 5 minutes.

Step 4: Serve

  1. Let the pie cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
  2. Serve warm with applesauce, sour cream (if dairy is allowed), or fresh herbs.

Notes

  • Make it dairy-free by using olive oil instead of butter.
  • For extra crispiness, preheat the baking dish before adding the potato mixture.
  • Storage: Refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days or freeze for 3 months.
  • Reheating: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes.
