6 eggs, beaten
1½ cups potato starch
6 lg. onions, sliced and sauteed

Mix all ingredients until smooth. Divide into two roaster pans. Bush with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.

Sweet Potato Pie

Base:
3-4 sweet potatoes
½ cup sugar
½ cup OJ or Almond Milk
1 large egg, beaten
3 tbsp. oil
1 tbsp. vanilla sugar

Topping:
½ cup dark brown sugar
1/3 cup potato starch
3 tbsp. oil
½ cup pecan pieces

Peel and cut sweet potatoes and boil until soft. Drain well and return to pot. Mash, but don't overdo it; it should be thick and not too smooth. Add sugar, liquid, egg, oil and vanilla sugar. Mix well. Pour into greased 9" round pan.

Mix topping ingredients and sprinkle on top. Bake at 350 for about half an hour.

It's not just the menus, but looking them over, many (most) of them contain lots of items that (at least according to my calculations) can't be made much in advance, if at all. With a menu like this I would literally be in the kitchen/at the stove all yomtov. Not so bad if you have to make 2, 3 or 4 things "day of," but these look like they contain many more than that...how do you ladies do it? Especially with the way YT falls out this year, b/c the first day is Shabbos, I feel like even though you can cook on YT, it may as well be 2 days of Shabbos....

I'm in the kitchen for days before YT (or should I say nights as I'm working throughout), but don't cook on YT itself.
Everything made in advance so I can enjoy YT itself.

Right after Purim I do this: menu 5772. The shopping list is updated right after Pesach and then after I make the menu I tweak it.

I freeze it -- it is fine. I freeze almost everything on my list (it is already made -- I cook in my basement kitchen in advance and freeze everything).

Sure -- this is definitely a go-to recipe for me. I make it every year, and everyone loves it. It's from the New York Times Passover Cookbook.

Matzah-meal polenta (don't double this recipe -- it doesn't turn out if you do)

* Olive oil for coating pan
* 2 1/4 cups chicken stock
* 1 chicken bouillon cube
* 1/4 teaspoon each minced fresh rosemary, sage, and thyme
* 3/4 cup matzah meal, plus extra for coating the cakes
* 1 large egg
* 1 large egg yolk
* Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
* 1/3 cup olive oil
* Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

* lightly oil an 8-inch cake pan or straight sided tart pan
* In a 2 quart saucepan, bring to a boil the chicken stock, bouillon cube and herbs. Reduce the heat and simmer until the bouillon cube is completely dissolved, about 3 minutes.
* Slowly pour the matzah meal into the liquid with one hand while whisking constantly with the other (be sure to use a firm whisk). Continue whisking until smooth and creamy. The mixture will become quite thick. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
* In a bowl, beat the egg and egg yolk together; whisk the eggs into the matzah polenta. Raise the heat slightly and return the mixture to a boil. Boil, whisking constantly, for 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste and remove from the heat.
* Pour the cooked matzah polenta into the cake pan. With a spatula, spread the mixture evenly and smoothly. Cover, place in the refrigerator and chill thoroughly, at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours.
* Cut the polenta into pie-shaped wedges. In a large sauté pan, heat the olive oil over a moderate flame. Dredge the matzah wedges in the extra matzah meal and sauté on both sides until golden brown. Sprinkle with chopped parsley, if desired.

Sauteed mushrooms

2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 lb assorted mushrooms, cleaned and very thinly sliced (I usually use regular old white mushrooms)
1/2 tsp garlic, chopped
1/4 cup white wine
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1 tbsp chopped parsley

Heat the oil in a 2-quart saute pan over high heat until it just begins to smoke. Add the mushrooms and saute to brown them and soften them, about 3-5 mins.
Add the garlic, white wine and lemon juice, and toss together to blend the flavors. Season with salt and pepper and cook 1-2 mins.
Serve the mushrooms and their juice spooned over the polenta and sprinkled with parsley.
