Potato kugel is a potato-basedkugel ofAshkenazi Jewish origin, made with grated or pureedpotatoes,onions,eggs,flour ormatzo meal,oil,salt andpepper.
It is commonly served forShabbat and otherJewish holidays. It is more similar to alatke than it is to a noodlekugel, as there are sweet variations of noodle kugel but all potato kugel are savory dishes. Potato kugel is typically made in a largecasserole dish, although it is also sometimes prepared in individualramekins. Potato kugel can be made with grated potatoes, which gives it a crispier texture, or it can be made with potatoes puréed in a food processor, creating a "pudding-like consistency" according to Jewish chefJamie Geller.[1]
Some modern cooks add a small amount ofbaking powder. The powder's alkaline chemistry breaks down the potatoes and produces a smoother texture while promoting browning.[citation needed]
