Thanks Thu Mar 28 08:37:11 -0800 2002 0 9lives 1 1560321 It sounds like a potato kugel, but that is baked. The filling for a potato knish is made this way too. How is the dish you are thinking of served? Thu Mar 28 09:23:18 -0800 2002 1560317 0 Pat Goldberg 2 1560384 served cold..or room temp..spread on matzoh. Thu Mar 28 17:26:46 -0800 2002 1560321 0 9lives 1 1560322 Sounds like it might be a version of... vegetarian chopped liver! Here's some past Chowhound info on a version with green beans. One kosher spread packager (tuv taam maybe?) makes their version with potatoes. I'm assuming you're not referring to the greek potato spread skordalia.

I seem to recall something from my distant past called "mock chopped liver." Not to be confused with "mock apple pie" made with Ritz crackers. :>) Thu Mar 28 10:25:08 -0800 2002 1560322 0 Bob W. 1 1560323 sounds like the greek dish skordalia, which they very well could offer in Israel, being in the Meditterranean and all. Recipe link below. it doesn't have eggs, though. it's the only dish your description evoked for me. Or else knish filling.
