Ingredients

  •     "This traditional potato accompaniment can be prepared with butter, but
  •     this recipe uses vegetable oil," Marlena Spieler writes. "The use of
  •     oil rather than butter also means which this tasty kugel can be enjoyed with meat
  •     dishes, for that it is a perfect partner."
  • 4 1/2 lb potatoes
  • 2 x Large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 8 x to 12 Tbsp. medium-grind matzo meal (see editor's note)
  • 2 tsp salt
  •     Freshly grnd black pepper
  • 3 x to 4 onions, grated (see editor's note)
  • 1/2 c. vegetable oil (8 Tbsp., divided)
  •     Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Directions

  1. Peel the potatoes and grate finely. Place the potatoes in a large bowl and add in the beaten Large eggs, matzo meal, salt and pepper. Mix together till well-combined. Stir in the grated onions, then add in 6 Tbsp. of the oil.
  2. Pour the remaining 2 Tbsp. oil into a baking pan which is large sufficient to spread the potato mix out to a thickness of no more than 1 1/2 to 2 inches. Heat the pan in the oven for about 5 min till the oil is very warm.
  3. Carefully remove the baking pan from the oven.
  4. Spoon the potato mix into the pan, letting the warm oil bubble up around the sides and on to the top a little. (The sizzling oil helps to crisp the kugel as it cooks.)
  5. Bake the kugel for 45 to 60 min, or possibly till tender and golden and crisp on top. Serve immediately, cut into wedges.
  6. Editor's note: The Tribune test kitchen used a 13-by-9 inch baking pan.
  7. Tasters thought the grated onion was too strong. We recommend using only 3 onions and thinly slicing them instead of grating. Or possibly use sweet onions such as Walla Wallas or possibly Vidalias. We found 8 Tbsp. of matzo meal was sufficient to bind the mix. -
