Servings
8 Servings
Ingredients
- ½ cup canola oil
- 8 medium Idaho potatoes peeled and quartered
- 2 medium onions quartered
- 2½ tablespoons sugar
- 5 eggs beaten
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Garnish: chopped scallions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Pour oil into a 9- x 13-inch casserole dish.
- Finely chop onions using a food processor or very sharp knife. Place them in a large bowl. Shred potatoes in a food processor or with a box grater.
- Add potatoes, sugar, eggs, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the onions. Mix all ingredients together.
- Place oiled casserole dish in 425°F oven for 5 minutes. Carefully remove the pan and swirl the oil around to cover the sides. Pour some of it into the potato mixture. Mix well. Spoon potato mixture into the prepared casserole dish and cook for 1 hour, until the top is golden brown. Cool slightly before serving. Garnish with scallions.
If you are making the recipe X 2 do you not have to cook it longer if it’s still in a 9x 13 dish?
If you can fit it all in the same size pan then yes it would likely need to cook longer, but not double the time. You will have to check on it and it can’t really overcook.
I’ve made this before and I’ll make it again – as a shiksa in this family, I needed help and this recipe was it. My husband didn’t care for potato kugel until this recipe! Very good.
So happy to hear
I was never a Potato Kugel over until I tried this recipe.
Yay, thanks for commenting
Upon using scallions, first soak in soapy water for at least 10 minutes, wash off slice down the middle and check for any insect infestation.
The flavor was good, but it was incredibly wet and mushy! Wish I knew to drain the potatoes like with latkes. Ill try again, but drain all of the liquid.
Divine! I made it with potatoes, carrots, sweet potatoes and onions. Heating the oil in the pan gives a sweet, caramel flavor that conjured childhood memories. Just watch empty oiled pan while pre heating like a hawk, so it doesn’t start smoking. Pessah Sameach!
I added chopped fresh parsley
Used matzo meal
Also used lower temperature
Her stove maybe problematic
Also no sugar necessary with good red skin potatoes
tried the kugel (after watching the video) but I found that there was too much oil and the inside was too mushy.
I think next time, I’ll use less oil and lower the temp to 400 so that it will not get so brown before the inside gets done.
(by the way, it really looked good.
I made it for my grandson’s aufruf when people came on Erev Shabbos and everyone enjoyed it!)
