✅ What’s the best way to keep Passover Potato Pie from getting soggy?

To avoid a soggy texture, ensure that the grated potatoes are thoroughly drained before mixing. Baking in a preheated dish also helps create a firmer, crispier crust.

For a lighter version, use olive oil instead of schmaltz and incorporate grated vegetables like zucchini or carrots for added fiber.

Absolutely! Once baked and cooled, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil, then store it in the freezer for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven at 375°F until warm and crispy.

✅ Is there a dairy-free version of Passover Potato Pie?

Yes, Passover Potato Pie is traditionally dairy-free. Instead of butter, use olive oil or another kosher-for-Passover fat to keep the dish rich and flavorful.

✅ Can I add cheese to Passover Potato Pie?
