Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 1 cup (shredded) Swiss cheese
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
Peel the russet potatoes and grate them using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a large bowl of cold water to prevent browning.
Grate the yellow onion and set it aside.
Drain and squeeze excess water out of the grated potatoes using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Ensure the potatoes are as dry as possible.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained potatoes, grated onion, shredded Swiss cheese, and chopped parsley. Mix well.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and ground nutmeg until fully incorporated.
Pour the egg mixture over the potato mixture and stir until thoroughly combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Drizzle the olive oil over the top to encourage crisping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the kugel is golden brown and crispy on the top and edges.
Remove from the oven and let the kugel cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing into squares or wedges.
Serve warm and enjoy your Swiss Potato Kugel, garnished with additional chopped parsley if desired.
