Didn't come out well Didn't cook all the way through in the recommended time. Possibly the recipe would benefit from clearer directions (specify potatoes in pounds, specify dimensions of baking pan. But my biggest complaint is that it simply tasted too eggy, not enough potato flavor. Reply

Potato Kurgel I love this potato kurgel recipe. I makes this when I have company, and my company loves this. I will have four people including myself this Sabbath and this is one of the recipes I will use. Reply

Great kugel This is the easiest and best potato kugel around. I have been making it for the past few years and people can't get enough of it. To make this easy recipe even easier, don't bother peeling the potatoes. Scrub them and that's all. Makes life a whole lot easier. Reply

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. Reply

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. Reply

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!!! Reply

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. Reply

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. Reply
