M'chaqub is a traditional Jewish dish that is popular during Passover. It is made by stuffing matzohs with a mixture of mashed feta cheese, mashed potato, beaten egg, and black pepper, then frying them until golden brown. The dish is crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, with a savory and slightly salty flavor. It is a unique way to use matzohs and adds a new dimension of flavor to the Passover feast.

Instructions

1.	In a medium bowl, mix together the mashed feta cheese, mashed potato, beaten egg, and black pepper.
2.	Soak the matzohs in a large bowl of cold water for about 30 seconds, or until they are slightly softened but not falling apart. Drain well and set aside.
3.	Beat the remaining three eggs in a large bowl.
4.	Spread a quarter of the feta cheese mixture on each of the softened matzohs, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Roll up each matzoh tightly and dip it into the beaten egg.
5.	Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry each matzoh roll until golden brown on all sides. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
