Ina Garten Potato Kugel Recipe
Are you searching for a cozy and delicious side? This Ina Garten Potato Kugel Recipe is the perfect choice.
Equipment
- Box grater
- Large mixing bowl
- 9 by 13 Inch Baking Dish
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Clean kitchen towel
- Small saucepan
Ingredients
- 3 Lbs Russet Potatoes
- 2 Medium Yellow Onions
- 5 Large Eggs
- 1/2 Cup Matzo Meal
- 1/2 Cup Melted Butter
- 2 Tsp Kosher Salt
- 1 Tsp Black Pepper
- 1/2 Tsp Baking Powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees right now. Grease your baking dish with butter or nonstick spray. This prevents the kugel from sticking to the sides.
- Peel all your potatoes and onions very carefully. Grate them using the fine side of your grater. Work quickly so the potatoes do not turn brown.
- Place the grated mix into a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much liquid as you possibly can. Dry potatoes lead to a much crispier kugel top.
- Put the dry potatoes and onions into a bowl. Whisk your eggs in a separate small container first. Add the beaten eggs to the potato mixture now.
- Stir in the matzo meal and the melted butter. Add your salt, pepper, and the baking powder next. Mix everything until the ingredients are fully combined.
- Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish. Smooth the top with a spoon or a spatula. This helps it bake at an even height.
- Place the dish into the hot oven carefully. Bake for about one hour and fifteen minutes. The top should be very brown and very crunchy.
Notes
- Use a food processor to grate potatoes much faster.
- Squeeze the potatoes until no more water comes out.
- Always use fresh eggs for the best binding power.
- Do not skimp on the salt for better flavor.
- Let the kugel rest for ten minutes before slicing.
- Ensure your oven is fully preheated before you bake.
