Perfect for the big holiday feast or for a snack anytime, potato kugel will satisfy even the toughest critics. This excellent recipe only requires an hour and a half to make with 30 minutes of prep time and 1 hour of cook time.
Ingredients:
· 7 large peeled and coarsely grated potatoes
· 1 finely chopped medium onion
· ¼ cup all-purpose flour
· 2 slightly beaten large eggs
· 2 teaspoons of white salt
· 2 teaspoons of fresh ground black pepper
· 6 divided tablespoons of oil
Directions:
First set the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. As the oven is being heated, grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan then pour 3 tablespoons of oil into the pan. Next, squeeze the excess moisture from the shredded potatoes by hand and place them into a large bowl, mixing in the chopped onion. Add all remaining ingredients to the bowl in addition to the final 3 tablespoons of oil. It is best to use your hands to ensure all ingredients are mixed well.
To decrease the cooking time and create crispy sides and bottoms, place the oiled baking dish in the oven and heat for 6-8 minutes. Next, evenly distribute the potato mix in the baking dish. Make sure to use oven mitts as the baking dish will be extremely hot. Finally, bake uncovered for one hour or until the top of the potato mixture is nicely browned. Keep in mind the longer you bake the mixture, the crispier it will be. Therefore, bake until the desired crispness is achieved.
