Number Of Ingredients 10

4 teaspoons coarse salt, plus 1/4 teaspoon, divided
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, plus 1/4 teaspoon, divided
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing baking dish
3 1/2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled, about 6 large potatoes
5 shallots, thinly sliced, about 9-ounces
3 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, plus more for garnish
5 large eggs, room temperature
1 1/4 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
1 cup unsalted matzo meal
flaky sea salt, such as Maldon, to taste, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in upper third. Combine 4 teaspoons coarse salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Oil a 2 1/2-quart baking dish and sprinkle bottom with some of the salt-and-pepper mixture. Cut potatoes into 1/8-inch thick slices with a handheld slicer or knife. Arrange slices vertically in baking dish; wedge in shallots and sprinkle thyme throughout. Brush with oil and season between potato slices with remaining salt-and-pepper mixture. Place baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet. Whisk together eggs, broth, 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Add matzo meal and stir to combine. Pour mixture evenly over potatoes, tapping baking sheet on the counter to ensure mixture settles to bottom of baking dish. Cover with parchment, then with foil, and transfer to oven. Bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil and parchment, rotate baking sheet, and continue baking until potatoes are tender when pierced with the tip of a paring knife, about 40 minutes more. Increase heat to broil and broil until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent over browning. Garnish with thyme and sea salt. Let rest at least 15 minutes but not longer than 30 minutes.

I'm not a fan of onions, so I omitted them from the recipe. The dish was still delicious.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some garlic and herbs to give it more flavor.
