Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 large Onion
- 4 large Eggs
- 4 tablespoons Potato starch
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Chicken fat or additional olive oil (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and set aside.
Peel the potatoes and grate them using a box grater or a food processor with a shredding attachment. Place the shredded potatoes into a large bowl of cold water to prevent discoloration.
Grate the onion and set it aside in a separate bowl.
In another large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Add potato starch, salt, and black pepper, mixing until well incorporated.
Drain the potatoes thoroughly, squeezing out as much water as possible using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Add the shredded potatoes and grated onion to the egg mixture.
Stir the mixture until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil (and optional chicken fat if using) in a skillet over medium heat. Pour the hot oil into the potato mixture and stir quickly to combine.
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the kugel is firm to the touch.
Allow the kugel to rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
