Ingredients
  

  • 6 large potatoes peeled
  • 1 large onion
  • 4 eggs
  • ½ cup oil
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons potato starch

Instructions
 

Grate the Potatoes

  • Grate all potatoes by hand or with a processor. Keep the texture fine but not mushy for best results.

Grate the Onion

  • Grate the onion and mix it with the potatoes. This adds flavor and moisture to the kugel.

Remove Extra Liquid

  • Press the potato mix lightly to remove extra water. Do not make it too dry or it will bake hard.

Add Eggs and Oil

  • Add eggs and oil into the bowl. Mix slowly until everything is well combined and smooth.

Add Dry Ingredients

  • Add potato starch, salt, and pepper. Stir again to spread the flavors evenly through the mixture.

Pour Into Baking Dish

  • Grease a baking dish and pour in the potato mix. Spread the top flat with a spatula.

Bake Until Golden

  • Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 60 minutes. The top should turn golden and crisp.

Cool Before Cutting

  • Let the kugel cool for 10 minutes. Cut into squares and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use fresh potatoes for the best texture.
  • Squeeze extra liquid or the kugel will be too soft.
  • Add more pepper if you want stronger flavor.
  • Bake longer for extra crisp top.
  • Use a glass dish for even browning.
