KARTOFFEL KUGEL (ASHKENAZIC POTATO PUDDING)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Heat an 8- or 9-inch square baking dish in the oven.
• Coat the bottom and sides of the baking dish with 1/4 cup of the schmaltz or oil and return to the oven until very hot, about 15 minutes.
• Place the potatoes in a large bowl of lightly salted cold water. (This keeps them from discoloring.) Grate the potates into the onions, stirring to mix.
• Stir in the eggs, remaining 1/4 cup schmaltz or oil, salt, pepper, and, if desired, gribenes or carrot. Add enough matza meal or flour to bind the batter.
• Pour into the heated dish and bake until golden brown, about 1 hour. Although this is best when warm, the leftovers can be served at room temperature.

SWEET POTATO BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together sour cream, milk, sugar, eggs, baking powder, vanilla extract, ginger, salt, cranberries and minced orange.
• Add bread cubes and stir gently to coat; cover and chill overnight.
• Cook sweet potatoes the next day until tender. Drain, transfer to a food processor and puree until smooth. Fold sweet potatoes into chilled bread mixture.
• For the streusel, combine pecans, brown sugar and flour; stir in butter.
• Transfer bread pudding mixture to a 1-qt casserole dish coated with nonstick spray. Sprinkle with streusel.
• Oven: 375º F. Bake: 30 - 40 min, or until knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
