Potato Kugel is a savory, crispy, and comforting dish that’s perfect for any occasion. Tender grated potatoes combined with onions, eggs, and seasoning create a crispy golden crust and a soft, flavorful inside.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium potatoes: peeled and grated
  • 1 large onion: finely chopped
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with oil or butter.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion, eggs, flour, salt, pepper, and baking powder. Stir until well combined.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Drizzle the olive oil over the top of the kugel to help it crisp up while baking.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy, and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Finishing Touches: Let the kugel rest for about 5 minutes before cutting into squares or serving.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm as a side dish, and enjoy the crispy top and tender interior.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, try adding grated cheese or herbs to the mixture.
  • If you like a more intense flavor, caramelize the onions before adding them to the kugel.
  • To get an extra-crispy bottom, consider baking it in a cast-iron skillet.
