Potato Latkes/Kugel
List of Ingredients
2 pounds Russett or Yukon Gold potatoes
1 medium onion
1 large egg (or 3 T egg substitute)
1/4 cup matzo meal
1/8 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp salt
peanut oil for latkes or vegetable oil for kugelRecipe
Grate potatoes and onion over large bowl.
Add egg, matzo meal, pepper and salt.
for latkes:
heat 1/4 inch of oil to 35 ^F in an electric skillet.
Gently add about 3-4 T of batter. Cook until edges
start to brown, turn, and cook until done. Add oil
as needed between batches to retain 1/4" layer.
These are very moist, so be careful when you put the
batter into the pan, it splatters. Mom always taped
newspaper around the area (counters, walls,and floor.)
For kugel:
pour 2 or 3 T of oil into 1 quart casserole pan, preferrably
pyrex. Spread it around. add batter, and bake at 325 F for
45-60 minutes, until brown and firm
