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.

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.
