ingredients
- 1360.77 g yellow skinned potatoes, peeled, cut into cubes (such as Yukon Gold)
- 680.38 g parsnips, peeled, cubed
- 59.14-118.29 ml butter (original called for 1/2 cup) or 59.14-118.29 ml margarine (original called for 1/2 cup)
- 709.77 ml onions, chopped (I like Vidalia)
- 3 extra large eggs, lightly beaten
- 2.46-4.92 ml salt (to taste)
- 1.23-2.46 ml black pepper (to taste)
- 1.23-2.46 ml nutmeg (freshly grated)
- 59.14 59.14 ml cracker crumbs or 59.14 ml dry breadcrumbs, more as needed
directions
- Preheat oven to 400 F and grease a medium-large casserole dish, either oval or rectangular shaped (7"x11" size or 8"x12").
- Sprinkle a tiny bit of the matzo meal over the bottom of the casserole dish.
- Place potatoes and parsnips into a deep saucepot and cover with cold water; bring to a boil and then cook until tender, about 10-15 minutes roughly; drain well.
- While the potatoes and parsnips are boiling, heat some butter in a large skillet and saute the onions until soft and tender and golden; the original recipe called for a whole stick which I think is a bit much, but you need enough to soften the onions and give them a nice flavor.
- Mash together the drained potatoes and the parsnips, then add the sauteed onions, along with any remaining butter from the pan.
- Add the beaten eggs, salt, pepper, nutmeg to taste, and 1/4 cup of the matzo meal.
- Pour into the prepared pan and then sprinkle just a fine layer of matzo meal over the top.
- Dot with a little more butter.
- Bake, uncovered, for about 25-30 or until the surface is golden brown.
- Tip: You can halve the recipe, in which case use 1 whole egg plus 1 egg white; the timing will be about the same.
