Lacy Potato Kugel

I have been eating potato kugel all my life - take it from me, this one is the absolute best. It's from the "Kosher Palette Cookbook" it is crispy on the outside and creamy and, well, 'lacy' on the inside. It freezes very well so I usually double the recipe. Enjoy!

The BEST! I forgot to add the potato starch and didn't miss it at all. Also reduced the water to 1/4 cup. Made in muffin tins...they came out like potato pancake muffins! Everyone raved and I've now been elected to make them every Passover. Would be so yummy with applesauce or sour cream.

    Fabulous. Rave reviews - from guests who have been making and eating kugel for years!. Used mini muffin pans and reheated before dinner. And, I used chicken fat to saute onions. I think this made a huge difference in taste.

    This is a great recipe but way to many steps. It got rave reviews but 2 or 3 pkgs frozen hash brown potatos the eggs 1 pkg of frozen onions some chopped garlic and parsley would bring the same results

    This is the first time we have had potato kugel. I am still not sure how I really feel about this dish a few days later. Part of it may be that I am not a huge potato lover but I just didn't think there was enough flavour and the inside was too runny. I followed the recipe exactly with the exception of using corn starch as I couldn't fine potato starch anywhere. Perhaps it would be more to our tastes with some garlic and a little less water. Thanks for posting.
