PASSOVER POTATO KUGEL

Steps:

• Place a 9x13 baking dish or pan in the oven and preheat oven to 400 degrees, letting the dish heat up inside. Peel the potatoes, then use a food processor or hand grater to grate them into large shreds.
• Place the potato shreds in a large mixing bowl and cover with cold water. Let the shreds sit for a few minutes.
• Meanwhile, peel and shred the two large onions in the food processor or with a hand grater. Reserve.
• In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt and pepper until fluffy.
• Drain the potato shreds in a colander, pushing down firmly on top of the shreds with your hands to push out the excess liquid.
• Place grated potatoes in a large bowl. Add the seasoned eggs, grated onions and potato starch to the bowl. Use your hands to mix all ingredients together until well combined.
• Take the preheated baking dish out of the oven. Quickly pour in 3 tbsp schmaltz or olive oil, then use a pastry brush to carefully spread the fat around the bottom and sides of the hot dish. Careful, don't burn yourself! The hot dish, while a bit difficult to navigate, will help to form a beautiful brown and crisp crust for the kugel.
• Carefully and quickly spread the potato mixture into an even layer in the baking dish (it should sizzle!), then drizzle remaining 1 tbsp of melted schmaltz or olive oil across the top.
• Bake uncovered at 400 degrees for 60-70 minutes until the top is nicely browned all across the top. If it seems to be browning too fast (before the center is cooked), cover the kugel to keep it from over-browning. You really want it to have a nice golden crust-- at the end of cooking, if it's not quite brown enough, you can put it 6 inches below the broiler for a minute or two to evenly brown it all across the top. This kugel tastes best served hot directly from the oven. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

POTATO KUGEL

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350, with a heavy 9-by-9-inch baking pan or 10-inch cast-iron skillet inside.
• Peel the potatoes, and place them in a bowl of water. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs with the salt and pepper until well combined.
• Using a food processor fitted with the grating plate, grate the onion. Drain the potatoes, then grate them. Quickly add the potatoes and onions to the eggs, and add the oil, flour and baking powder. Mix well. (You can also grate by hand; if you do so, grate the potatoes directly into the eggs and oil, and stir them frequently to coat. This helps slow their browning while you keep grating.)
• Remove the pan from the oven, and slick it with oil. Carefully but quickly add the potato mixture, smoothing it out so that it is as even as possible. Bake for 2 hours, or until the kugel is creamy in the center and the whole top is a rich, crunchy brown.

POTATO KUGEL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• If you do not have a food processor, pull out your box grater. Grate the potatoes. They will brown quickly, so if you are doing by hand, as you grate the potatoes, put them in a bowl with water and and little bit of white vinegar (about a tablespoon).
• When you are done grating the potatoes, grate the onion. You could also chop the onion very fine by hand.
• Using your hands or a clean dish towel, wring out all the vinegar water from the potatoes. Add them to the large bowl with the grated onions.
• Food processor:
• First blend the onions with the regular blade until finely ground. Remove the onions and put in a large bowl.
• Switch to the grating blade, grate the potatoes.
• Add the potatoes to the bowl with the onions. Sprinkle on the corn starch. Add the salt and pepper. Next, add on the eggs directly on top of the potato mixture. You could use your clean hands to mix it all together. Make sure the corn starch is completely combined with potatoes. You could also use forks or a wooden spoon to mix it all together, but by hand is easiest way.
• If you're using an oven safe casserole dish (I used a rectangular one), add the 4 tablespoons of oil and heat it up in the casserole for about 5 minutes.
• If you're using a 9 or 10-inch cast-iron skillet, add 4 tablespoons of the oil and heat on high heat for a few minutes (should take about 5 minutes to get it very hot). If you use a 9-inch skillet, the kugel will be taller.
• Carefully add the potato mixture to the casserole (or your cast-iron skillet), taking care that it may splatter a little, as the oil is very hot. Spread out the potato mixture. You could twist the potatoes a little (if they're long strands)and get a swirled texture look on top. Drizzle on the last tablespoon of oil.
• Bake for about 60-70 minutes, or until kugel is golden brown on top and tender on the inside. The potatoes on top will be nice and crispy. You don't want to over bake it. Mine was ready at about 65 minutes. If it's browning too much on top, you could cover with foil paper for last few minutes of baking (I didn't need to with mine).
• Sprinkle on some chopped Italian parsley (optional). Cut into squares and pass around the table while it's warm.

GLUTEN FREE POTATO KUGEL GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F with a rack in the upper third. Combine 4 teaspoons Kosher salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Lightly oil a 2 1/2 quart baking dish and sprinkle the bottom and sides with a teaspoon of the salt and pepper mixture. Set the pan and the remaining salt and pepper mixture aside.Place the matzo crackers in the bowl of a food processor and process until the crackers become a fine meal. Set aside.
• Using the food processor with a slicing disk set to 1/8-inch, or a mandoline, cut the potatoes into slices. Arrange the potatoes in stacks of 10 vertically in the baking dish. Alternating directions of the stacks of ten to create a basket weave pattern. Once all of the potatoes have been arranged wedge the thin slices of shallots in between the stacks of potatoes and sprinkle the rosemary and thyme over the top of the potatoes. Brush the potatoes with the olive oil and sprinkle with the remaining salt and pepper mixture. Place the pan on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Whisk together the eggs and broth in a medium sized bowl. Add the matzo meal and stir to combine. Pour the mixture evenly over the potatoes , tapping the baking sheet gently on the counter to ensure that the matzo mixture settles to the bottom of the dish.
• Cover the baking dish with a sheet of parchment, then with foil, and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and the parchment, rotate the pan and continue baking until the potatoes are tender when pierced with the tip of a pairing knife, about 40 minutes.
• Garnish with the additional rosemary and thyme and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Let rest for 15 - 20 minutes before serving.

POTATO KUGEL CUPS

• 1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Liberally oil six (4- to 6-ounce) glass dessert dishes or custard cups with 1 to 2 tablespoons of evoo each. Place custard cups on a baking pan. 2. Fill a large bowl with cold water and, as you peel potatoes, place them in cold water to prevent browning. 3. Place the pan of cups in 425°F oven to heat up the evoo (be very careful with glass, extreme temperature changes can cause it to shatter) . 4. Beat eggs in a small bowl. Add salt and pepper, mix well, and set aside. 5. Pour ¾ cup of evoo in a small saucepan and place over medium-low heat. 6. Cut potatoes lengthwise into halves or quarters so they fit into food processor feed tube. Process potatoes and onions using the blade that creates thin, shoestring-like strips. 7. Transfer potatoes and onions to a large bowl, add egg mixture and heated oil from stovetop, mix very well. Remove any large pieces of potatoes or onions that weren't processed properly. 8. Remove heated cups from the oven and spoon potato mixture evenly into hot, oiled cups. 9. Bake at 425°F for 1 hour. If the sides are still pale, cook for 20 minutes longer until the tops look crunchy and sides look golden and browned. Loosen edges with a knife, unmold and serve on a platter.
