Fairway's Matzo 3 Ways

Jane joins Dan and Mitchel of Fairway Market to whip up matzo three different--but all very tasty--ways!

Fried Matzo
Serves 4
 
Ingredients
1/2 lb matzo
1 cup boiling water
6 eggs beaten
1 tablespoon salt
25 cracks fresh pepper
4 tablespoons canola oil
jelly to taste
maple syrup to taste
 
Preparation
Add matzo to a bowl and break it up. Add boiling water and let sit for 5 minutes. Mix in eggs, salt and pepper.
 
Cooking Instructions
In a heavy pan, heat the canola oil until it is just short of smoking. Add the matzo mixture and let sit for 3-4 minutes or until it is brown with a nice crust. It should take the form of an omelet.  Flip over and let sit for 2-3 minutes, then break up. Place on a warm plate and serve with jelly and maple syrup.
 

Potato Pancakes
Serves 4
4 Idaho potatoes, peeled and shredded
3 large eggs
1 Spanish onion, diced
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 tablespoons matzo meal
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh pepper
applesauce
sour cream
 
Preparation
Mix the potatoes, eggs, onion, matzo meal, salt and pepper in a bowl.
 
Cooking Instructions
In a heavy pan, heat the vegetable oil until it is just short of smoking.    Use a soup soon to portion out each pancake, two soup spoons per pancake, and place each potato pancake in the pan browning for 2-3 minutes per side.  Take each pancake out of the pan and dry on a paper towel. Serve with a side of apple sauce and sour cream.

Ingredients
1 piece of matzo per person
peanut butter to taste
