Scale
For the Potato Base:
- 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
For the Filling:
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
For Topping:
- 1/4 cup matzo meal (or ground matzo)

Instructions
-
Prepare the Potato Base:
- Boil the cubed potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain and mash the potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the mashed potatoes evenly into a greased 9-inch pie dish, pressing to form a crust.
-
Make the Filling:
- In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the onions and garlic in olive oil until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in paprika and nutmeg, cooking for an additional minute. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Mix the sautéed onion mixture with the beaten eggs and parsley. Pour this mixture over the potato crust, spreading it evenly.
-
Add the Topping:
- Sprinkle the matzo meal evenly over the top, then drizzle with olive oil.
-
Bake:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the pie for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy.
-
Serve:
- Let the pie cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy as part of your Passover meal!
Notes
- To make it dairy-free, olive oil is used throughout the recipe.
- If you’d like a creamier filling, you can add 1/4 cup of nondairy milk to the mashed potatoes.
- The pie can be made ahead and reheated in the oven before serving.
