That sounds like Jewish chremselach (the "ch" is a velar fricative -- it
sounds like you're clearing your throat).

Cook potatoes, mash them, add whole raw egg, add grated or
finely-chopped onion (though I think some people consider the opinion
optional -- but heathens will say anything), salt, pepper (no paprika).
Fry in pan. Most people fry this in oil. Many fry this in chicken fat
(shmaltz), but then it will taste very much like chicken, I am told.
This is almost traditional for a side dish on Passover.
