Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Russet potatoes
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 4 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray and set aside.
Peel the potatoes and onion. Using a food processor or box grater, finely shred the potatoes and onion.
Place the shredded potatoes and onion in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible. Discard the liquid.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
Add the drained potato and onion mixture to the bowl and stir until evenly coated with the egg mixture.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and sour cream, mixing until the ingredients are fully combined.
Heat the vegetable oil in a small pan until hot but not smoking. Carefully pour the hot oil into the potato mixture and mix thoroughly. This will help create a crisp crust during baking.
Transfer the potato mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Dot the top of the kugel with small pieces of butter for extra flavor and browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
Remove from the oven and let the kugel cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing into squares or wedges to serve.
