I can tell you a little secret... I haven't peeled potatoes for kugel in many years. Once they are grated, you can't tell the difference and the kugel tastes the same. Everyone I have told has tried it and agrees. Even red potatoes work just fine. And the peels have lots of healthy things in, so it's healthier too 😀

We’ve had this discussion before about unpeeled potatoes for kugel. I tried it years ago using yukon gold potatoes at the behest of my neighbor, who insisted it made no difference. It tasted like dirt. No one wanted to eat it.

Do you cover it?
I feel like that would be so heavy though. A big bowl full of water and potatoes. I worry I'll spill it when carrying to and from the fridge.

You probably should cover it so you don't end up with overnight water/gilui

I have a problem digesting lecithins from potatoes and their skins, so it’s recommended to soak overnight in the fridge. I do it all the time and I believe it makes the potatoes more delicious. I soak them cut up and peeled after having been rinsed a few times.
