Ingredients

• 6 medium Russet potatoes
• 1 large Onion
• 4 large Eggs
• 4 tablespoons Potato starch
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Chicken fat or additional olive oil (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and set aside.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and grate them using a box grater or a food processor with a shredding attachment. Place the shredded potatoes into a large bowl of cold water to prevent discoloration.

Step 3

Grate the onion and set it aside in a separate bowl.

Step 4

In another large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Add potato starch, salt, and black pepper, mixing until well incorporated.

Step 5

Drain the potatoes thoroughly, squeezing out as much water as possible using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Add the shredded potatoes and grated onion to the egg mixture.

Step 6

Stir the mixture until all the ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 7

Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil (and optional chicken fat if using) in a skillet over medium heat. Pour the hot oil into the potato mixture and stir quickly to combine.

Step 8

Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the kugel is firm to the touch.

Step 10

Allow the kugel to rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
