"A classic Jewish Passover potato dish but also a staple any time of the year for Jewish home cooks. This version I have posted is much lighter and fluffier than the old fashioned variety that is made without eggs. This version is "parve" meaning it contains no milk or meat. You'll be surprised that using such simple ingredients can produce such a tasty side dish"
