Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 2 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons Potato starch
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spray a 12-cup muffin tin generously with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Peel the potatoes and onion, then grate them using a box grater or a food processor with a grating attachment.
Transfer the grated potatoes and onion to a clean kitchen towel and wring out as much liquid as possible. This step is crucial for a crispy kugel.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes and onion with the eggs, potato starch, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
Heat the vegetable oil in a small skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Pour the hot oil into the potato mixture and mix thoroughly. The hot oil will help create a crisp texture when baked.
Scoop the potato mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup and pressing down lightly to compact the mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes to ensure they don't burn.
Allow the mini kugels to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them with a butter knife or small spatula.
Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish for your Passover meal. Enjoy!
