Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a light coating of vegetable oil or cooking spray.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and the onion. Grate both using a box grater or food processor with a shredding attachment. Transfer the grated mixture to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and wring out as much excess liquid as possible.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until well-combined. Add the grated potatoes and onion to the bowl.

Step 4

Stir in the all-purpose flour, vegetable oil, salt, black pepper, baking powder, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 5

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Use the back of a spoon or spatula to press it down gently.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy. Check for doneness by inserting a knife or skewer into the center—it should come out clean.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let the kugel cool for about 5-10 minutes before slicing into squares or wedges. Serve warm as a side dish or main course.
