POTATO KUGEL



Potato Kugel image

Take a healthy hashbrown, plump it up with more potatoes and a few eggs, and slowly bake it for a couple hours and you'll get this potato kugel. Its crunchy top gives way to a super-soft, almost mashed-potato center, and the soft aroma of onion will fill your kitchen.

Provided by Francis Lam

Time 2h30m

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 pounds russet potatoes
3 eggs
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 medium onion
6 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for greasing pan
1/3 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350, with a heavy 9-by-9-inch baking pan or 10-inch cast-iron skillet inside.
  • Peel the potatoes, and place them in a bowl of water. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs with the salt and pepper until well combined.
  • Using a food processor fitted with the grating plate, grate the onion. Drain the potatoes, then grate them. Quickly add the potatoes and onions to the eggs, and add the oil, flour and baking powder. Mix well. (You can also grate by hand; if you do so, grate the potatoes directly into the eggs and oil, and stir them frequently to coat. This helps slow their browning while you keep grating.)
  • Remove the pan from the oven, and slick it with oil. Carefully but quickly add the potato mixture, smoothing it out so that it is as even as possible. Bake for 2 hours, or until the kugel is creamy in the center and the whole top is a rich, crunchy brown.

CRISPY POTATO KUGEL



Crispy Potato Kugel image

At its core, kugel is a casserole. It comes in both savory and sweet varieties, often made with egg noodles and vaguely sweetened. This version, made with potatoes, is decidedly salty and savory, with onions in the mixture and chives to finish. It can best be described as something between a Spanish tortilla and a giant latke; the potatoes are shredded, not sliced, there are eggs but no flour, and it's got crispy edges and a creamy interior. Sounds dreamy, doesn't it? The most annoying parts of this kugel are also the most important: grating the potatoes (I use a box grater, but you can use a food processor with the shredding blade) and wringing out their moisture. For that, I use my hands and a colander or strainer to save a kitchen towel or a cheesecloth, but you can use those, if you like. Traditionally made in a casserole-style baking dish, this kugel starts off in a cast-iron skillet, but a stainless-steel skillet would do the job, and honestly so would a baking dish, just know you may be sacrificing that crunchy underside.

Provided by Alison Roman

Categories     vegetables, side dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 pounds russet potatoes (about 5 to 7 potatoes), peeled
1 large yellow onion
6 large eggs
10 tablespoons chicken fat, melted, or use vegetable oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup finely chopped chives, for serving
Flaky sea salt, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Using a box grater or the shredding attachment on the food processor, grate the potatoes and onion into a colander fitted inside a large bowl (or in the sink).
  • Using your hands and working with a bit at a time, squeeze as much water from the potatoes and onions as humanly possible and transfer the dry potatoes to a large bowl (you can use that same bowl, just make sure it's drained and dry). For added insurance, you can also do this with cheesecloth or a porous kitchen towel, if you like.
  • Add eggs and 6 tablespoons chicken fat to the potatoes, and season with salt and plenty of pepper, mixing well. Heat another 2 tablespoons fat in a 9- or 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high. (This recipe will work in a 9- or 10-inch skillet, but the kugel will be slightly taller in a 9-inch.) Delicately place the potato mixture into the skillet, taking care not to pack it in tightly. (You want to keep the kugel light and airy.)
  • Cook the potatoes, rotating the skillet occasionally to promote even browning, until it's golden brown on the edges and up the sides, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Drizzle the top of the potatoes with the remaining 2 tablespoons fat and place in the oven. Bake until the top of the kugel is deeply golden brown, the edges are wispy and crispy, and the potatoes are completely and totally tender and cooked through, 45 to 50 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and top with more pepper, chives and flaky sea salt. Slice and serve warm.

POTATO KUGEL



Potato Kugel image

Kugel is a traditional Jewish dish often served at holidays. At Passover, a savory potato kugel is most common-a noodle kugel isn't allowed because pasta isn't kosher for Passover. This recipe hits all the traditional notes using schmaltz (chicken fat) to cook the onions and a dairy-free egg custard to hold the kugel all together. But instead of shredding all the potatoes I use frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, which are a great shortcut when you've got a whole dinner to make!

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Nonstick cooking spray
2 tablespoons schmaltz (chicken fat) or olive oil
2 small onions, finely diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 sprigs thyme
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 pounds frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
1 bunch chives, chopped (1/4 cup), plus more for serving
6 large eggs
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish with nonstick spray.
  • Melt the schmaltz (or heat the oil) in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, thyme and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Discard the thyme sprigs and transfer the onions to a large bowl; add the potatoes and chives. Gently stir the mixture together.
  • Whisk the eggs and salt in a medium bowl. Pour evenly over the potato mixture and fold in to combine. Spread and press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake until the kugel is set and you see the sides become a deep golden brown through the glass baking dish, 40 to 50 minutes. Let cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving, sprinkle each portion with more chives.

ASPARAGUS-AND-POTATO GRATIN



Asparagus-and-Potato Gratin image

Is anything better than a decadent potato gratin? Yes: a potato gratin with asparagus and prosciutto. The sweet, grassy undertones of goat cheese and sharp Pecorino Romano compliment this side-turned-dinner dish beautifully and will have the whole family asking for seconds.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups coarse fresh bread crumbs (from 3 large slices rustic bread)
4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 small bunch asparagus (about 12 ounces), trimmed
4 medium white- or red-skinned potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch slices
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups whole milk
4 ounces fresh goat cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano (1 ounce), plus more for serving
6 thin slices prosciutto
Chive blossoms, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Toss bread-crumbs with oil; season with salt and pepper. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and toast until crisp and just beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Increase oven temperature to 475 degrees. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; add asparagus. Return to a boil and cook until crisp-tender, 30 to 60 seconds. Transfer to a plate. Add potatoes to pot; cook until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain. Arrange potatoes in the bottom of an 8 1/2-by-11 1/2-inch or 2-quart baking dish (about 1 1/2 inches deep).
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour; cook until it has a slightly nutty aroma, about 30 seconds. Gradually (to avoid lumps) whisk in milk. Bring mixture to a boil and cook, whisking, until thickened slightly, about 1 minute. Remove from heat; add both cheeses and whisk until melted. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Pour half of sauce over potatoes. Arrange prosciutto and half of asparagus on top. Drizzle with remaining sauce. Top with remaining asparagus, then bread-crumbs. (Dish can be made to this point and refrigerated in an airtight container up to 1 day; add 10 minutes to baking time.) Bake until bubbling around edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool slightly; serve, sprinkled with more Pecorino and chive blossoms.

CRISPY POTATO-LEEK KUGEL



Crispy Potato-Leek Kugel image

Inspired by the flavors of potato-leek soup, this kugel is creamy on the inside, crackly on the outside, and completely irresistible.

Provided by Leah Koenig

Categories     Egg     Potato     Passover     Kid-Friendly     Leek     Small Plates

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

9 medium russet potatoes (about 4 1/2 pounds), peeled
7 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
3 medium leeks, white and pale-green parts only, thinly sliced crosswise
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided, plus more
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 small onion
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, divided
Special Equipment:
An 8x8" baking pan

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°. Cut 4 potatoes into 1" chunks and place in a medium pot. Cover with cold water by 1". Season water generously with salt, bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and cook until potatoes are tender, 10-12 minutes. Drain well, transfer to a large bowl, and mash with a potato masher; set aside.
  • Meanwhile, heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium until shimmering. Add leeks, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and golden, 5-8 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes more. Remove pan from heat and let cool slightly.
  • Grease bottom and sides of an 8x8" baking pan with 2 Tbsp. oil. Place pan in oven for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, grate 3 potatoes and onion using the large holes of a box grater or a food processor fit with a shredding blade. Wrap potatoes and onion in a clean dishtowel or several layers of paper towels and squeeze out as much liquid as you can; add to the bowl with the mashed potatoes. Stir in sautéed leeks and garlic, eggs, 2 Tbsp. oil, 1 Tbsp. thyme, 2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper; mix until well combined.
  • Thinly slice remaining 2 potatoes and toss with remaining 1 Tbsp. oil, 1 tsp. thyme, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper in a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Carefully remove preheated pan from oven and transfer potato-onion mixture to the pan (it should sizzle when it hits the hot oil). Smooth top with a spatula. Layer potato slices over the top in a shingled fashion. Bake until golden brown and cooked through, 60-75 minutes. Heat broiler; broil kugel until crispy crust forms, 1-2 minutes, watching carefully so it does not burn. Let cool briefly, then cut into squares to serve.

Tips:

  • Select the best asparagus: Choose asparagus spears that are firm, have tight tips, and are deep green in color. Avoid spears that are limp, have woody ends, or are yellowed.
  • Prepare the asparagus properly: Rinse the asparagus spears thoroughly under cold water. Trim off the tough ends of the spears, about 1 inch from the bottom. Peel the asparagus spears if desired, using a vegetable peeler. Cut the spears into 1-inch pieces.
  • Cook the asparagus perfectly: There are several ways to cook asparagus. You can boil it, steam it, roast it, or sauté it. The cooking time will vary depending on the method you choose.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the taste of your kugel. Use fresh, high-quality potatoes, asparagus, and cheese.
  • Don't overcook the kugel: Overcooked kugel will be dry and crumbly. Bake the kugel until it is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Serve the kugel warm: Kugel is best served warm. You can reheat it in the oven or microwave if necessary.

Conclusion:

Asparagus potato kugel is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or main course. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its creamy texture, cheesy flavor, and pop of asparagus, this kugel is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
