What blade to use for potato kugel:

This recipe is made using a food processor and if you’re in the market for a good one, here’s our pick.

The two most commonly used blades when making potato kugel are the “S” blade and the “shredding blade.” The “S” blade is the one that completely mashes the potatoes and the “shredding blade” is the one that shreds them.

You can’t go wrong with either blade, it’s simply whatever you prefer. This recipe works with either one so do whatever you and your family enjoy.

How to keep the potatoes from browning:

Potatoes turn brown soon after they’re peeled so in order to prevent that we do a few things.

First, fill a big bowl with cold water before you start peeling the potatoes. As you peel each potato, place it in the bowl until you’ve finished the rest.

In addition, mix the eggs, oil, and salt straight into the baking dish you plan on using.

This way the potatoes go into the oven as quickly as possible after being shredded.

how to eat potato kugel in a healthy way:

Although potato kugel is delicious it’s high in calories and not easy to fill up on. Try eating a medium-sized piece of it at a meal with a healthy protein and a side of vegetables. This way you’ll enjoy the kugel without overeating it.

If you want to eat potato kugel as a snack or in a lighter meal you can pair it with a soup or salad. That’ll hopefully fill you up enough to where you don’t eat too much kugel at a time.

what this potato kugel recipe goes with:

Because potato kugel is a bit more oily and salty it goes well with simple grilled or baked foods. Your stomach will digest everything better this way and you won’t feel like you can’t move after your meal! Some of these ideas are:

Ingredients

10 medium-sized russet potatoes
1 big onion
6 eggs
3/4 cup canola or vegetable oil
1 tablespoon salt

Instructions

Wash and peel the potatoes. As you peel each potato, place it in a big bowl of cold water. (This will prevent the potatoes from browning.)
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
In another big bowl mix the eggs, oil, and salt. You can also do this straight into the baking dish that you'll be using.
Peel and cut the onion into four big wedges.
Add the potatoes and onions to a food processor using any blade you'd like. (This recipe uses the shredding or "shoestring" blade.)
Transfer the grated potatoes and onions to the bowl or baking dish with the egg mixture and mix well.
Bake uncovered for 1 hour or until the top has browned and your house smells amazing!
Lower the temperature of your oven to 350 degrees, cover the kugel with foil, and cook for another hour.
Allow the kugel to cool for 30-60 minutes before serving.
