Ingredients:

  • 1/2 tsp salt (use more if potatoes are large)
  • 1 pinch white pepper
  • 3 medium idaho potatoes
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup cooking oil
  • nonstick cooking spray

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 500 F, 475 if using a.
  2. Crack eggs into small bowl and mix well with salt and white pepper. Pour into food processor bowl.
  3. Pour oil into a 9 round baking pan (disposable is fine). Place pan in oven.
  4. Working very quickly to prevent potatoes from browning (and oil from burning), peel, wash, and grate potatoes on high speed using a grating blade, not a shredding, pureeing, or blending blade. (This is typically a blade that has both very tiny and larger holes in it and makes the potatoes into a mush that is not smooth but has very tiny bits of potato, though not big lumps or long stringy shreds.).
  5. Remove pan with oil from oven, and pour oil into potato mixture. Mix well with rubber scaper to scrape down sides of bowl.
  6. Spray pan with nonstick cooking spray, pour in batter, and bake for 45-60 min or until top is dark and crusty with a deep brown color.
  7. Note: For a really white kugel, I recommend you refrigerate the potatoes for several hours or overnight. The colder they are, the longer it takes for them to turn brown, which would give your kugel a darker color. I put the potatoes in the fridge as soon as I buy them, and if I don't take them out until every other step is done and I'm ready to peel and grate them immediately, I get a lovely-looking kugel that is almost snow white!
