CRISPY POTATO KUGEL



Crispy Potato Kugel image

At its core, kugel is a casserole. It comes in both savory and sweet varieties, often made with egg noodles and vaguely sweetened. This version, made with potatoes, is decidedly salty and savory, with onions in the mixture and chives to finish. It can best be described as something between a Spanish tortilla and a giant latke; the potatoes are shredded, not sliced, there are eggs but no flour, and it's got crispy edges and a creamy interior. Sounds dreamy, doesn't it? The most annoying parts of this kugel are also the most important: grating the potatoes (I use a box grater, but you can use a food processor with the shredding blade) and wringing out their moisture. For that, I use my hands and a colander or strainer to save a kitchen towel or a cheesecloth, but you can use those, if you like. Traditionally made in a casserole-style baking dish, this kugel starts off in a cast-iron skillet, but a stainless-steel skillet would do the job, and honestly so would a baking dish, just know you may be sacrificing that crunchy underside.

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 pounds russet potatoes (about 5 to 7 potatoes), peeled
1 large yellow onion
6 large eggs
10 tablespoons chicken fat, melted, or use vegetable oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup finely chopped chives, for serving
Flaky sea salt, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Using a box grater or the shredding attachment on the food processor, grate the potatoes and onion into a colander fitted inside a large bowl (or in the sink).
  • Using your hands and working with a bit at a time, squeeze as much water from the potatoes and onions as humanly possible and transfer the dry potatoes to a large bowl (you can use that same bowl, just make sure it's drained and dry). For added insurance, you can also do this with cheesecloth or a porous kitchen towel, if you like.
  • Add eggs and 6 tablespoons chicken fat to the potatoes, and season with salt and plenty of pepper, mixing well. Heat another 2 tablespoons fat in a 9- or 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high. (This recipe will work in a 9- or 10-inch skillet, but the kugel will be slightly taller in a 9-inch.) Delicately place the potato mixture into the skillet, taking care not to pack it in tightly. (You want to keep the kugel light and airy.)
  • Cook the potatoes, rotating the skillet occasionally to promote even browning, until it's golden brown on the edges and up the sides, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Drizzle the top of the potatoes with the remaining 2 tablespoons fat and place in the oven. Bake until the top of the kugel is deeply golden brown, the edges are wispy and crispy, and the potatoes are completely and totally tender and cooked through, 45 to 50 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and top with more pepper, chives and flaky sea salt. Slice and serve warm.

SWEET KUGEL



Sweet Kugel image

Kugel, a traditional Jewish noodle custard dish, is a mainstay of Jewish holiday meals. Defined as a baked pudding or casserole (usually from noodles or potatoes) this one is my own version of kugel, which is adapted from a few recipes to make one that we really love. This is a rich and sweet kugel although they also come in a savory version.

SWEET POTATO AND APPLE KUGEL



Sweet Potato and Apple Kugel image

I've looked at a number of sweet potato kugel recipes, and experimented with this one a few times until I was satisfied with it. The trick is to bake the kugel long enough so that the sweet potato softens properly without the top drying out and browning too much. I cover the kugel during the first 45 minutes of baking to prevent this. After you uncover it, it's important to baste the top every 5 to 10 minutes with melted butter.

Categories     dinner, casseroles, side dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 eggs
Salt to taste
2 large sweet potatoes (1 3/4 to 2 pounds total), peeled and grated
2 slightly tart apples, like Gala or Braeburn, peeled, cored and grated
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon mild honey or agave nectar
3 to 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, as needed

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 2-quart baking dish
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs with salt to taste (I suggest about 1/2 teaspoon). Add the grated sweet potatoes and the apples. Pour the lime juice over the grated apples and sweet potatoes, then stir everything together. Combine the honey and 2 tablespoons of the melted butter and stir together, then toss with the sweet potato mixture and combine well
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Cover the dish tightly with foil and place in the oven. Bake 45 minutes. Remove the foil and brush the top of the kugel with melted butter. Return to the oven and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes or longer, brushing every 5 minutes with butter. The kugel is ready when the edges are browned, the top is browned in spots and the mixture is set. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: For the best texture and flavor, use a firm, starchy variety of potato, such as Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes.
  • Use a variety of apples: Different varieties of apples will give your kugel different flavors and textures. Granny Smith apples are a good choice for a tart flavor, while Honeycrisp apples are a good choice for a sweet flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the kugel tough. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Bake the kugel until it is golden brown: The kugel is done baking when it is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the kugel cool before slicing: Allow the kugel to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This will help it hold its shape.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato apple kugel is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or a main course. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its sweet and savory flavor, this kugel is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
