How To Make potato kugel

  • 1
    In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, matzo meal, salt and pepper.

    In a food processor fitted with the grating attachment, alternately grate potatoes and onion. (The secret to keeping potatoes white is to switch off between potatoes and onions when grating.) Add to the egg mixture; toss to coat.

    In a small saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat until warmed. Stir into potato mixture.

    Transfer potato mixture to a greased 13x9-inch baking pan. Bake in a preheated 375-degree oven for 40-50 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with sour cream, if desired.
