Pâté de Pomme de Terre is a delightful French potato dish that combines creamy mashed potatoes with savory onions and herbs, making it a perfect side for any meal. This kosher preparation showcases the comforting flavors of traditional French cuisine with a modern twist.

Ingredients

• Russet potatoes - 400 grams
• Yellow onion - 1 medium, finely chopped (about 100 grams)
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Egg - 1 large, beaten
• Bread crumbs - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. Peel and chop the russet potatoes into evenly sized cubes. Place them in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil.
2. Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes until they are fork-tender. Drain and return to the pot.
3. While the potatoes are boiling, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
4. Mash the drained potatoes in the pot until smooth. Stir in the sautéed onions and garlic, chopped parsley, salt, pepper, and the beaten egg until well combined.
5. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
6. Transfer the potato mixture into a greased baking dish, smoothing the top. Sprinkle the bread crumbs evenly over the surface.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
