Soak the unbroken matzos in cold water until soft. Drain very well on a cloth or paper towel. Squeeze if necessary. (This step is important, or the mina will be too soggy and not crunchy.) Wash the s pinach well, drain thoroughly, and dry, then chop lightly. Saute the onion in 2 tbsp oil. Add the meat and cook until browned. Just before it is done, add the pignolias, if using. Season with salt an d allspice. Degrease. Cook the spinach briefly, just until it wilts. Drain and mix with meat and potatoes. Beat two eggs well and add to the spinach-meat mixture. Preheat oven to 400F. Grease a pie p late or square baking pan with 2 tbsp oil. Cover the bottom of the pan with 2 whole matzos. If they break up, you can patch them. Spread the spinach-meat mixture on top. Cover with the remaining 2 ma tzos. Brush the top with the remaining 2 tbsp oil. Beat the remaining egg and spread over all. Bake 50 min or until top is lightly browned. NOTES : From _The Jewish Holiday Kitchen_ by Joan Nathan. Schocken Books, New York: 1988.
