Yield: 8 servings
- 1 small onion, peeled
- 6 medium potatoes, peeled
- 2 whole eggs plus 2 egg whites
- 1 tablespoon pareve (non-dairy/non-meat) chicken soup powder mixed with 1/4 cup boiling water
- 2 tablespoons soy or whole wheat flour
- salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 500F. Chop onion with knife attachment in a food processor until very fine. Switch to the grating disc and grate potatoes. Squeeze well in a colander to drain all excess water. Transfer to a mixing bowl. By hand, mix in the dissolved soup powder and flour. Season with salt and pepper. Pour into an 8 x 8-inch baking pan lined with baking paper. Spray the top with non-stick spray. Bake 20 minutes, until it starts to turn golden. Lower heat to 32F and bake for another 30-40 minutes.
Tip: If you have company coming and don't want the mess, but you want a piping-hot, fresh potato kugel, prepare in advance as above, pour into a pan, cover well with foil or plastic wrap and freeze. Do not defrost before baking. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes at 500F; then lower heat to 375F and continue baking for another 30-40 minutes or until golden brown on top. Spray top occasionally with non-stick cooking spray while baking.
