Equipment
- Food Processor
- Large mixing bowl
- Baking Dish
- Clean kitchen towel
- Measuring cups
- Whisk
- Sharp knife
Ingredients
- 5 lbs POTATOES
- 3 large ONIONS
- 4 large EGGS
- 1/2 cup MATZO MEAL
- 1/2 cup SCHMALTZ
- 2 tsp SALT
- 1 tsp BLACK PEPPER
Instructions
Step 1:
- Peel all of your potatoes and onions. Wash the potatoes in cold water. This removes the dirt and extra starch.
Step 2:
- Grate the potatoes and onions very finely. Use your food processor for this task. It saves a lot of time and effort.
Step 3:
- Put the grated mix into a towel. Squeeze it over your kitchen sink. Get out as much water as possible.
Step 4:
- Place the dry mix into a bowl. Add your eggs and the matzo meal. Pour in the melted chicken fat now.
Step 5:
- Add the salt and the black pepper. Mix everything together with a large spoon. Make sure the eggs are well blended.
Step 6:
- Grease your baking dish with some fat. Pour the potato mixture into the dish. Level the top with your spoon.
Step 7:
- Put the dish into a hot oven. Bake it until the top is brown. This usually takes about one hour.
Step 8:
- Take the kugel out of the oven. Let it sit for ten minutes. This makes it much easier to slice.
Notes
Squeeze the potatoes very hard to remove water.
Use a food processor to save your hands.
Preheat your oven for a very crispy crust.
Add more salt if you like savory food.
Work fast so the potatoes do not turn gray.
Use fresh eggs for the best kugel lift.
