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.

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!

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.
