Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Russet potatoes
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 4 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a light coating of vegetable oil or cooking spray.
Peel the potatoes and the onion. Grate both using a box grater or food processor with a shredding attachment. Transfer the grated mixture to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and wring out as much excess liquid as possible.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until well-combined. Add the grated potatoes and onion to the bowl.
Stir in the all-purpose flour, vegetable oil, salt, black pepper, baking powder, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Use the back of a spoon or spatula to press it down gently.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy. Check for doneness by inserting a knife or skewer into the center—it should come out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the kugel cool for about 5-10 minutes before slicing into squares or wedges. Serve warm as a side dish or main course.
