Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 4 medium Carrots
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 3 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a bit of vegetable oil.
Peel the potatoes and carrots. Grate them finely using a food processor or box grater. Transfer the grated vegetables to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This step is crucial to prevent the kugel from being soggy.
Peel and finely grate the onion. Combine the grated potatoes, carrots, and onion in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, beat the eggs until well-mixed. Add the beaten eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and vegetable oil to the vegetable mixture. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined.
If you're using parsley, stir it into the mixture at this stage for extra freshness and flavor.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy, and the kugel is cooked through.
Allow the kugel to cool slightly before cutting it into squares or slices. Serve warm as a side dish or main course.
