Potato kugel mystery solved

Potato kugel mystery solved

My Mom made the best potato kugel in the world. She never had a
recipe, and my sister and I have been trying to reproduce the memory
of it for years.

Mom was a very healthy cook. Very little fat, salt, sugar, etc.
Fresh veggies, lean meats, fruits, whole grains, etc. She also never
used spices. Said food tasted good plain if you didn't dull your
taste buds.

Apparently, this did not apply to kugel.

Mom's Potato Kugel
my Mom, 95 this June
Serves: 12

2-1/2 tablespoons oil
1 large or 2 small onions
2 lbs Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
2 tablespoons matzo meal
1-1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 rounded teaspoon pepper
4 large eggs, lightly beaten

Preheat the oven to 375F. Place oil in Pyrex casserole dish and place
in oven.

Shred onions first, then potatoes, best if using a wire grater, but if
you use the food processor, use the shredder blade, then process half
the shreds using the blade.

Add matzo meal, salt and pepper, and mix lightly.

Crack and check eggs, Beat lightly, then add to potato mixture.

Remove casserole from oven, pour in potato mixture gently so you don't
get splashed with the hot oil.

Spoon oil that collects in the corners over the top of the potato
mix.

Bake 45 minutes until golden on top.

Serve with applesauce.
