Potato Matzo Kugel Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish with nonstick spray.
• Melt the schmaltz (or heat the oil) in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, thyme and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Discard the thyme sprigs and transfer the onions to a large bowl; add the potatoes and chives. Gently stir the mixture together.
• Whisk the eggs and salt in a medium bowl. Pour evenly over the potato mixture and fold in to combine. Spread and press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake until the kugel is set and you see the sides become a deep golden brown through the glass baking dish, 40 to 50 minutes. Let cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving, sprinkle each portion with more chives.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Grate potatoes and onion in a food processor. Transfer to a large bowl and add oil, eggs, salt, and pepper. Mix to combine and place in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 2 hours.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Grease the inside of a 2 quart baking dish.
• Grate the potatoes and onions (food processor will turn the potatoes brown really quickly and it's UGLY - avoid it if possible) and place in a strainer set over a bowl. It's important to work quick so the potatoes don't brown too much.
• Squeeze as much moisture as you can from the potatoes and onions, and remove the strainer from the bowl.
• In the bowl, you will see a liquid that sits on top of starch that is sticking to the bottom.
• Discard the liquid being very careful not to discard the starch underneath.
• Add the potatoes and onions to the bowl with the starch, along with the eggs, matzo meal, oil, and salt and pepper. I have not given a specific amount of salt as this is an individual preference - I like a lot of salt, and if I would post the amount, people's hypertension would soar just at reading it.
• Stir very well.
• Insert the mixture into the baking dish and bake for 45minutes-1hour, until the kugel is browned and bubbling.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees with rack in upper third. Combine 4 teaspoons coarse salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl.
• Oil a 2 1/2-quart baking dish and sprinkle bottom with some salt-and-pepper mixture. Cut potatoes into 1/8-inch-thick slices with a handheld slicer or knife. Arrange slices vertically in baking dish; wedge in shallots and sprinkle thyme throughout. Brush with oil and season between potato slices with remaining salt-and-pepper mixture. Place baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Whisk together eggs, broth, 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Add matzo meal and stir to combine. Pour mixture evenly over potatoes, tapping baking sheet on the counter to ensure mixture settles to bottom of baking dish. Cover with parchment, then with foil, and transfer to oven. Bake 45 minutes. Remove foil and parchment, rotate baking sheet, and continue baking until potatoes are tender when pierced with the tip of a paring knife, about 40 minutes more. Increase heat to broil and broil until golden brown, about 5 minutes. (Watch carefully to prevent overbrowning.) Garnish with thyme and sea salt. Let rest at least 15 minutes and up to 30 minutes.

Steps:
