Can I brag for a sec? I make a pretty darn good potato kugel. Except when it came to pesach. I couldn’t figure out why my pesach kugel was coming out gooey with a thick center. I mean it’s the exact same ingredients as regular kugel so what was the issue. That’s when I realized that it must be the cottonseed oil I was using. I switched to avocado oil and the results were so amazing that I use it all year. It makes THE BEST kugel ever. Besides for that, my recipe has somewhat changed over the last few years. Yes my old post/ recipe is still yum. Here’s the story. I had a friend who needed to cut down on her egg consumption. Not cut out but reduce slightly. Oh. And she’s gluten free. So I experimented for a few weeks and the results were so good that my own family didn’t want me to go back to the original recipe. It’s perfect for pesach and all year round. Make sure you save some potato starch cuz your gonna need a few Tablespoons each week. Here goes.

8 Jumbo Idaho Potatoes

6 eggs

1 cup Avocado oil

1 medium / large onion

2 tsp salt

black pepper

2 Heaping Tbl Potato starch

Pokyny

Preheat oven to 400

Using the S blade or knife blade blend the onion and 1 potato till smooth. Scrape down sides of bowl till you get everything blended.

Then add eggs, oil, potato starch and spices to processor and blend on medium speed for 5 seconds not more. Pour this into a large mixing bowl. Now grate the potatoes using the kugel blade on medium speed. Mix the potato mixture into the egg mixture by hand. Either spray a 9x13 pan with oil or line with parchment paper. Bake for 1.5 hours uncovered. Then lower to 300 for 30 minutes. If doubling the recipe, the bottom pan will need more time or you can switch racks midway.

This freezes beautifully. To reheat to perfection- defrost almost fully then pour 1/2 cup boiling water on top. Bake uncovered on 350 for 35-40 minutes. Then lower to 200 to keep warm.

This recipe also works great for a crock pot kugel. You’ll need to double the recipe for a 6qt crock pot. Cook it for 18 hours before serving.
