When I polled people and asked what’s a basic food item they make every single Yom Tov “come what may,” this scored high on the list as a mainstay at most Jewish homes. With all the heavy cooking that needs to be done for the crush of Yom Tov meals, everyone appreciates a starchy side that can be easily frozen and defrosted and is not made with puff pastry. These can be formed into logs by baking in loaf pans and slicing before serving, or made as individuals in muffin holders. You can pair it with a vegetable or mushroom gravy if you’d like, but as they are super delicious on their own it’s not necessary.
2 large onions
3/4 cup oil, such as Tonnelli Avocado Oil
8 large potatoes
4 eggs
2 cups Glicks Flour
2 ounces margarine (you can skip it for a healthier option and cut the flour to 1 and 1/2 cups if you do)
1 tablespoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 egg for glazing, optional
Gefen Sesame Seeds for sprinkling, optional
Peel, cook, and mash potatoes well.
In a pan, sauté onions in the oil.
Combine potatoes, onion with the oil, and all other ingredients.
Place in a greased 9 x 13-inch pan, or loaf pans, or muffin holders.
Brush the top with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for one hour, or 30 minutes for individual muffins.
