A delightful twist on the classic potato kugel, this recipe offers a golden crispy crust and a soft, flavorful interior.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Preheating ensures the kugel starts cooking immediately, creating a crispy crust.
Grate the potatoes finely using a food processor or hand grater.
Grating the potatoes finely helps achieve a smooth texture in the kugel.
Squeeze out excess liquid from the grated potatoes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Removing excess moisture is crucial for a crispy kugel.
Dice the onions and sauté them in a pan with a little oil until golden brown.
Caramelized onions add a rich, sweet flavor to the kugel.
Combine the grated potatoes, caramelized onions, eggs, salt, pepper, and potato starch in the mixing bowl.
Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
Pour the boiling water over the mixture and stir well.
The boiling water helps bind the ingredients together.
Heat the oil in the baking dish in the oven for 2 minutes, then carefully pour the potato mixture into the dish.
Heating the oil creates a crispy base for the kugel.
Bake the kugel at 450°F for 20 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 375°F and bake for an additional 40 minutes.
Reducing the temperature ensures the kugel cooks evenly without burning.
Let the kugel cool slightly before serving.
Allowing the kugel to cool helps it set and makes it easier to slice.
