I used to make the worst potato kugels in the world; in fact, mine were so bad that my family preferred those Streit's or Manishewitz mixes.

Thanks to BPMom, I can now hold my head up high:

6-8 peeled potatoes
1/2 cup oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 onion
5 eggs

Preheat oven to 450 degrees fahrenheit and place a 9" x 13" pan in the oven to preheat, as well. Use a tablespoon of oil in the pan or spray with non-stick cooking spray.

Peel potatoes and rest in cold water to avoid discoloration.

Use a blender to liquify and mix the eggs, oil, salt, and onion. Pour into a bowl and set aside.

Process the potatoes using a food processor shredding attachment or even a blender. Experiment to find the texture you like best -- I've used several devices depending on what was available or convenient.

Mix potatoes quickly with egg mixture.

Open oven and pour the mixture into the preheated pan. It will sizzle slightly. Bake for approximately 45 minutes or until nicely browned.

This recipe is remarkably forgiving. The first time I made it, I didn't have a food processor, so I used my blender on the potatoes. Although they were more "chunky" than "grated", the kugel was still delicious. You can vary the ratio of potatoes to eggs to suit your preferences, too, and it's still delicious.

Good luck, and a huge thank you to BPMom!

WOW Canadamom...no oil at all?!! I have to try this.....how much oil do you use to coat the 9X13 pan? Can I just use Pam? TIA

To coat the pan I put in 1/4 cup of oil, but I make sure it's sizzeling before I pour the kugel batter in

Hey Canadamom,
The recipe sounds delicious and perfect for Shabbat tomorrow. I got all the ingredients and DH wanted Latkes and I refused to make them since its not Chanukah yet.

I will try this. Potato kugel is my favorite shabbos dish but it is one I have the hardest time making!

Hi,
I had a question.
You guys mentioned "Idaho" potatoes or just "potatoes". I use yukon gold, would it make a difference? (as far as taste, consistency, number of potatoes)
For some reason I'm think Idaho potatoes are much bigger?
TIA

Anyone know?
OR does anyone have a recipe for potato kugel that uses yukon golds?

I use yukon gold for the traditional potato kugel recipe from kosher by design- it comes out really good

I make my kugel in an 8x8 glass pyrex every week and its hugely complimented and no fail so I figured id share.

I use 5 large or 6 medium potatoes
3 eggs
1 large onion and blend all these three together. I dont have a decent food processor and use a very small blender but it works fine. I tried by hand and it didnt come out as good.

once thats all mixed I add salt (about 2T I would think, but I dont have the exact measurements) 4-5 dashes of pepper, 2-3 dashes of onion powder (also approx) and about a 1/4 cup of oil.

I bake on 350 for about 1.5 hours. I found when I bake it on higher temps the outside gets too crispy and the inside doesnt get cooked enough.

Good luck!

Ive been using Yukon Gold potatoes (highly recommended on another thread), and I get a nice color every week that doesnt discolor with time. That used to be a problem with other potatoes.

Now Im looking for that crispy on the outside, wiggly on the inside texture, thats no fail.

Somehow the Yukon Gold potatoes give the kugel a different flavor, maybe more like cooked potatoes/Chremslech. Maybe Ill try mixing Yukon and Idaho potatoes.

Any recipe that lots of people who have tried many recipes, prefer because its no fail and crispy on the outside and wiggly but not raw, on the inside?

Second vote for the KBD one. Yum!

Third the kbd, though I eyeball the amount of potatoes (and use whatever kind we have here in Israel, not sure what they're called or if they even have a special name). I use slightly less salt and far less pepper than the recipe calls for, but basically it's exactly what you're asking for: no fail, crispy on the outside, cooked and creamy on the inside. Never met anyone who doesn't love my kugel Very Happy

I've been making fox's kugel almost every week since she posted and it is excellent. There is a lot of liquid for the potatoes - but it comes out excellent.
