Potato Kugel - Shabbat

4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 onion, cubed
1/2 cup oil
4 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Grease baking dish and place in oven for 5 minutes. Soak potatoes and onion in cold water. Combine all ingredients including drained potatoes and onions in blender and mix until smooth. Take baking dish out of the oven and immediately pour mixture into the hot dish and bake at 450 degrees for 1/2 hour. Reduce to 350 degrees and bake for an additional 1/2 hour. For a larger quantity, repeat the recipe, remove the dish from the oven, pour the second mixture over the first, replace the dish in the over and continue baking.

Note: The laws of Shabbat rest mandate that all cooking and baking be done before Shabbat, and regulate food preparation done on Shabbat in other ways as well. For more information, see Food Preparation on Shabbat.

Shabbat

I just moved to Brookings. I was living is Assistant Living Faculty. I was not able to celebrate Shabbat the way it should be celebrated. I have my own apartment now. I am living independently. This Friday will be the first time I will be celebrating Shabbat. Next Friday I will have friends over for Shabbat. I am very excited about all this. Thank you for post these wonderful receipts.

Matzah meal is not necessary. I personally like adding another onion- it results in a sweeter Kugel. Also if the mixture is watery, before adding eggs and spices, drain it. Instead of pouring into pan I use my hands, one handful at a time until pan is full. Whatever remains I use for latkes.

Old fashioned

It's not that much work actually - I did it for Passover. It took me 15 minutes to hand grate 5.5 lbs of russet potatoes. It's worth it!!!

kugel

This is a great recipe: quick, easy and delicious. I use less salt. The old fashioned way is a lot of work and messy.

Kugel recipe

My mom made it once in a food processor and it was NOT the same. I recommend doing it the old-fashioned way, grating the potatoes on the smaller side of a box grater. It's ok to puree the onion in a food processor though. Then I just use my very clean fists to squeeze the starch out of the potatoes before making the kugel. My mom learned it that way from her grandmother and I've never tasted better kugel than what I grew up with.
