Steps:
- 1) Beat eggs and margarine/fat together (by hand is okay.) 2) Add salt and xantham gum to potatoes and mix with fingers to combine. 3) In 3 or 4 batches, add the potato flake mixture to the egg mixture, combining well each time. 4) Add the club soda, mix well and chill for 20-30 minutes. 5) Wet your hands and form the mixture into balls about the size of a walnut (they puff up a lot while cooking.) 6) Cook in simmering soup/broth/hot water for 20 minutes. NOTES: I used "chicken-flavored" instant mashed potatoes to give them even more of a chicken soup kick! If you like heavier matzah balls, substitute 4 tablespoons of broth or water for the club soda.
GLUTEN-FREE MATZO BALLS (KNEIDLACH) - PASSOVER SOUP DUMPLINGS
While nothing will ever be quite as delicious as the "real thing", these gluten-free kneidlach come closer to capturing the texture I was looking for than any other recipe I've tried. Choose a very finely ground blanched almond meal for the best texure. If you aren't vegetarian, you'll find it well worth using chicken fat (such as the fat that you skim off the top of the chicken soup, allowed to cool and solidify) instead of oil. These are very dense - If you'd like to try to get them lighter, I'd recommend whipping the egg whites into stiff peaks and gently folding them into the batter at the last minute. A note about flax seeds: These are considered kosher for Passover by some, and kitniyot by others. If you use them, be sure to use finely ground flax meal. If you consider flax seed to be kitniyot, try omitting this ingredient.

Steps:
- Beat egg with salt and pepper. Add remaining ingredients, and combine well. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Add additional potato starch, if necessary, until the batter is firm enough to be rolled into balls with your hands - It will still be sticky, but not too wet to handle. Using clean, dry hands roll a tablespoon of dough at a time into balls. Submerge in boiling water or soup.
- Allow to cook for approximately 10 minutes or until each ball has puffed up a bit and is cooked all the way through.
- For Vegetarian do not use Chicken fat.
