MADGE'S GEFILTE FISH

Steps:

• In a large, wide pot, bring fish stock to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer.
• In a large bowl combine whitefish, yellow pike, and carp. Add onions, eggs, matzo meal, salt, pepper, and 1/4 cup cold water. Stir with a wooden spoon until mixture forms a paste.
• Moisten hands with cold water. Shape about 1/3 cup of mixture into an oval slightly larger than an egg (3 to 4 inches long). Place gently in simmering stock. Repeat with remaining mixture. Add carrots. Sprinkle with paprika. Cover and simmer, until firm and opaque, about 1 hour. Cool to room temperature. Transfer to an airtight container.

• Remove from the heat and mash the potatoes with the butter until no lumps are left, then heat 100ml whipping cream and the milk together and add that to the mashed potatoes. Stir in 2 tbsp grated fresh horseradish, ready grated horseradish from a jar, or creamed horseradish (for a slightly milder taste), then season to taste.
