SWEET POTATO AND APPLE KUGEL



Sweet Potato and Apple Kugel image

I've looked at a number of sweet potato kugel recipes, and experimented with this one a few times until I was satisfied with it. The trick is to bake the kugel long enough so that the sweet potato softens properly without the top drying out and browning too much. I cover the kugel during the first 45 minutes of baking to prevent this. After you uncover it, it's important to baste the top every 5 to 10 minutes with melted butter.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 eggs
Salt to taste
2 large sweet potatoes (1 3/4 to 2 pounds total), peeled and grated
2 slightly tart apples, like Gala or Braeburn, peeled, cored and grated
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon mild honey or agave nectar
3 to 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, as needed

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 2-quart baking dish
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs with salt to taste (I suggest about 1/2 teaspoon). Add the grated sweet potatoes and the apples. Pour the lime juice over the grated apples and sweet potatoes, then stir everything together. Combine the honey and 2 tablespoons of the melted butter and stir together, then toss with the sweet potato mixture and combine well
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Cover the dish tightly with foil and place in the oven. Bake 45 minutes. Remove the foil and brush the top of the kugel with melted butter. Return to the oven and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes or longer, brushing every 5 minutes with butter. The kugel is ready when the edges are browned, the top is browned in spots and the mixture is set. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving

POTATO KUGEL

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.

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.

Tips:

  • For a crispy crust, use a combination of matzo meal and bread crumbs.
  • If you don't have matzo meal, you can use all bread crumbs.
  • Be sure to squeeze out as much water as possible from the grated potatoes.
  • Don't overmix the batter, or the kugel will be tough.
  • Bake the kugel until it is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the kugel cool for a few minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Savory sweet potato kugel is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It is also a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. With its combination of sweet and savory flavors, this kugel is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
