Potato Kugel (Classic Jewish Comfort Dish)
🧾 Ingredients:
- 6 medium potatoes (peeled & grated)
- 1 small onion (grated)
- 3 eggs
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons flour (or matzo meal)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
👨🍳 Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Place oil in a baking dish and heat it in the oven for 5–10 minutes (this helps create a crispy crust).
- Grate the potatoes and onion, then squeeze out excess liquid using a clean towel.
- In a bowl, mix potatoes, onion, eggs, flour, salt, and pepper.
- Carefully pour the hot oil into the mixture and stir (this step gives that signature crispiness).
- Transfer everything back into the hot baking dish.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes until golden brown and crispy on top.
🔥 Tips:
- The more you squeeze out moisture, the crispier it gets.
- Use a metal or glass pan for best browning.
- Let it rest 10–15 minutes before cutting—it holds better.
💡 Texture Goal:
- Top = crispy & golden
- Inside = soft, moist, and flavorful
