Ingredients

• 6 large Russet potatoes
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 4 large Eggs
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and set aside.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and the onion. Grate them using the large holes of a box grater or a food processor with a grating attachment.

Step 3

Place the grated potatoes and onion in a clean kitchen towel and wring out as much liquid as possible. Discard the liquid.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until lightly beaten. Add the grated potatoes and onion to the bowl and mix well.

Step 5

Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper to the potato mixture. Stir until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 6

Pour in 1/4 cup of vegetable oil and mix thoroughly to ensure the oil is evenly distributed.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly using a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until the kugel is golden brown and crispy on top.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow the kugel to cool slightly before slicing into squares or wedges.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish or on its own. Enjoy!
