Equipment
- Food Processor
Ingredients
- 7 medium - large potatoes if your potatoes are on the smaller side add more to equal 7 medium to large potatoes
- 2 medium onions
- 7 large eggs
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil keep 2 Tablespoons aside
- 3 tsp salt
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit, or 200 degrees celcius
- Peel the potatoes and leave to soak in a bowl of water. This will keep the potatoes from changing color.
- In a large bowl add 7 eggs, oil, salt and pepper. Mix well.
- In your oven safe baking dish, add the 2 Tablespoon of oil you had set aside. Place in oven.
- Remove potatoes from bowl of water onto a clean dishtowel. Slice potatoes in half lengthwise so they will fit into the feed tube of the food processor. Wrap in dishtowel to help remove extra moisture from potatoes.
- Peel the onions and chop into quarters. Using the knife blade on the food processor, mince the onions until well blended. Add most of the onions to the egg mixture in the large bowl. Leave a few onions in the processor as it keeps the potatoes from browning.
- Switch from the knife blade to the grating blade in the food processor. Place the potato pieces one at a time into the feed tube of the processor. Use the plunger/pusher tool to push the potatoes through the grating blade.Add the grated potatoes to the egg mixture in the large bowl.
- I like to mix with my hands until all incorporated, you can use a glove. You can also just mix with a fork, or other utensil.
- Using oven mitts, carefully remove the baking dish with oil from the oven and place on a trivet, making sure the oil has spread around the bottom of the dish. Pour potato kugel batter from bowl into baking dish. Using a spatula or your hands even out the top of the kugel, being careful not to touch the hot dish.
- Place the potato kugel back in the oven for an hour.After an hour lower oven temperature to 350 farenheit/180 celcius for an additional 30 minutes
- Remove from oven. Allow to settle for five or ten minutes before cutting
