Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Russet potatoes
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 4 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and set aside.
Peel the potatoes and the onion. Grate them using the large holes of a box grater or a food processor with a grating attachment.
Place the grated potatoes and onion in a clean kitchen towel and wring out as much liquid as possible. Discard the liquid.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until lightly beaten. Add the grated potatoes and onion to the bowl and mix well.
Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper to the potato mixture. Stir until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Pour in 1/4 cup of vegetable oil and mix thoroughly to ensure the oil is evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly using a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until the kugel is golden brown and crispy on top.
Remove from the oven and allow the kugel to cool slightly before slicing into squares or wedges.
Serve warm as a side dish or on its own. Enjoy!
