Tips:

  • Use a variety of potatoes for a more complex flavor and texture. Russet, Yukon Gold, and red potatoes all work well in kugel.
  • Be sure to grate the potatoes finely. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the kugel tough.
  • Bake the kugel until it is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the kugel cool slightly before serving. This will help it to hold its shape.
