Is there such a thing? Is it any more than cooked potatoes thrown together with sauteed onions, seasoning and eggs?
I'd like a recipe, preferably without margerine.
Thanks.

I don't use eggs. I use cooked potatoes, a bit of oil, sauteed onions and some flavorings (usualy just garlic, salt). Mash it all together w/ a little of the potato liquid and bake in the oven (about 200 C) for 45 minutes or so. Drizzle oil on the top before you bake if you want a crunchy top.

There is a recipe in Taste of Shabbos for a mashed potato kugel with eggs. I made it once a few years ago and I didn't like it much so I didn't repeat it, but if you want to try it I can get the book out and type it up for you.

I think I saw a recipe for one on the thread about looking for a great potato kugel recipe.

We call it a Potato Knish Kugel, and it's delicious:

8 large potatoes (cooked and well mashed)
4 eggs
2 cups flour
2oz. margarine
1 TBSP. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper

1 egg & sesame seeds for glazing the top.

* Cook & mash potatoes
* Sautee onions in oil
* Combine all ingredients
* Place in greased 9x13 pan
* Brush the top with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds
* Bake at 350 for 1 hour

ENJOY!

This is my MIL's recipe - It is very popular in their house. It is very similar to the one above, and because it has more marg. you may just want to use the other one:

Doughless Potato Knish

8 potatoes - peel, cook, and mash
4 onions - dice and sautee
mix potatoes and onions.

Add:
1/2 cup oil
4 eggs
2 1/2 cups flour
6 oz. margarine
1 Tbsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper

mix.
Pour in 9x13 pan.
Paint the top with an egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake at 375 for 1 hour.
