My Lithuanian Grandmother made this Pre-WWII when she was married and living in Poland. She worked for a Jewish family there and was taught their cooking. She made the greatest Chicken Soup ever! Being Roman Catholic and having a butcher husband she put fried bacon into her Kugel. It was the tradition of our family for decades but, nobody knew how she made it. Thanks for showing the recipe. My Grandmother also grated the potatoes by hand! The work she did for a family of nine! She should have had our luxuries of food processors!
Hi! I am American Lithuanian and my family makes a dish called Kugelis. For Kugelis we grate the potatoes by hand and also the onion we fry up bacon like you mentioned we add the eggs but also we also add evaporated milk to it. Then we add salt and pepper and put it in the oven for about an hour. You can look up videos on how to make Kugelis on RUclips and there are also recipes on Google. Message me if you have any questions.
A food processor would not get the same results. The blades would pull too much liquid out of the potatoes, and they come out limp. Some things really do have to be done by hand. :)
I agree with the science. But she’s wearing a wig, so in the tradition of orthodox modesty for over observant wonen , she just might be an orthodox ic Jew and won’t mix meat and dairy, every day use. Just a guess.
I just wanted to let you know I have gone kosher due to health issues and everything I had cooked for ages had no taste until I found your site. Tonight I made this and my whole family loved it. Thank you so much for helping me serve foods that are healthy and tasty for my family without spending hours in the kitchen.
I just love your way of presenting. You get right to it, you don't spend time on a bunch of extraneous blather, I love it. I'm going to make this delicious looking bite and follow you for others. You are a good speaker and I look forward to many ideas from you.
Purchased several 4oz ramekins. Just used them to make Shabbat Potato Kugel. Used your amazing recipe, of course. Turned out fantastic, everyone wanted more! Can't thank you enough!
grew up eating chopped liver matza ball soup kugle pickled herring bagels and lochs and gefilte fish..We all crammed into my nannys kitchen in the bronx..I will always cherish those family memories😀
Jamie, you saved me! I was waiting for a yummy potato kugel recipe and now I have one that I’ll use forever! Love you and love your videos! Hope to run into you again at Holy Bagel!
I have finally caved in and I am going to buy a food processor to make some Lithuanian Kugelis which is similar to the Jewish Kugel. I am using some of the tips in this video when I make it like cutting the potatoes into fourths and grating the onion first. Thank you Jamie!
Jamie, I love your recipes, but you are making a critical mistake here regarding your advice on cookware. The reason why many are complaining of their glass casseroles shattering upon contact with the kugel mixture is because one should never -- and I do mean never -- pour cold or even warm ingredients into a hot glass container because the thermal shock causes a contraction more rapid than the structure of the glass can withstand, which causes it to shatter. One reason for this may be that you are fortunate enough to have an older Pyrex dish which, if it was manufactured before the mid-eighties, was made of a Borosilicate composition that withstands thermal shock somewhat well. This is the Pyrex many of us over a certain age grew up with. In the mid-eighties, the more expensive Borosilicate formulation was abandoned in favor of a cheaper soda-lime formulation that provided stronger impact resistance, yet failed to provide the same degree of thermal shock resistance the earlier Borosilicate formulation did. As a result, many old recipes tell cooks to do things like you are doing in this recipe, but they are no longer safe to do with modern Pyrex glassware. For these reasons you may want to use a heavy cast iron ceramic-coated dish, like the 2-1/4-quart Le Creuset Oval Baker, instead of any kind of glassware.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING ALL YOU KNOW AND THANK YOU for uploading your recipe ❣❣❣ My grandmother would give you her recipe for chicken soup and leave out the chicken 🥴🙄. That's why I appreciate the bakers and cooks who show us their techniques and personal twists and takes❣
I took your advice and put the glass purex dish in the oven and heated it up and once I put the room temperature potato/onion/egg mix in to the screaming hot dish, the dish exploded! I repeated the process, just not with preheating the dish and so far, so good.
Beautiful!!! Applause to you. I learned something new and this is most exciting. I am so impressed by you; I am going to order your book. 2 copies, one to my daughter in law. Thank you & Shana Tova u Metuka, Ktiva ve Chatima Tova.
I wanted to compliment you on all your hard work in preparing these food videos. I have no doubt that you made something hard look very easy. Thank you for the entertaining and tasty video recipes.
Hi Jamie, This potato kugel recipe looks great! I can't wait to try it. I'll let you know how well mine turns out. I really like the individual idea from your cookbook best. You make it look fun to cook. Thanks, Chaviva
looks amazing! just want to share that I vote for using Idaho potatoes and also to hand-grate at least 2/3 of the potatooes plus the onion too ... also, need to be very careful with hot sizzling oil...
Jamie, this video was sort of deceiving because it showed the cup potato kugel. I was expecting to learn to make the cup potato kugel. Even though you said in the video you were not going to make the cup potato kugel. The potato kugel looks yummy nonetheless. I'm just razzing that is to say I'm teasing you. Please take care and be safe. Shalom, shalom from the great state of Texas. :)
FABULOUS....I decrease the oil and bake in an 8X8 pan.....DELISH! I also replace one potato with a piece of squash or carrots for a little color/flavor.
1:26 She mentions it's the same recipe found in her book. The only difference is that she made them in pyrex cups instead of one big pan. I bet they could be made in muffin tins too, except those are usually metal.
Have you ever eaten a Russet potato Oh my The best tasting yellow flesh potato for potato chips, french fries, or potato pancakes with just sauteed apples with cinnamon Tastiest potato yet
Thank you for this recipe. Never made kugel before but the quarantine is forcing me to be creative in the kitchen. The only downside is that there weren’t any leftovers after dinner.
Made this Kugel ten times and everyone loves it, thank you from The Zaidy who knows nothing. My one issue is the Pyrex pan, it has literally exploded on me three times. What do I need to know about Pyrex” ?
I know this was a long time ago, biut a very handy recipe for a non-jewish australian who happens to love potato dishes. Maybe it's the Irish in me, maybe it's just potatoes.
SlamCheese I assume you’re using the red potatoes and not russets, so my suspicion is that your potatoes have been sitting in storage at the warehouse or wholesaler’s, something you can’t know or do a thing about! You’re only lucky that the Pyrex didn’t explode!
My mother would shred the potatoes, and as they sat moisture would be released. She would remove some of the water, and she would also add some matzoh meal. Her kugel always came out well, never mushy.
Thanks for sharing. Just wondering what potatoes are best for kugel. In Europe potatoes are better. Here in us i can't find which ones taste better. And i don't use oil , we use cup of very hot milk and bake with bacon and onion mix.
Jamie this recipe looks amazing I'm going to try to pull this off for Shabbos tomorrow fingers crossed Baruch Hashem!! I love you and I'm so happy that I found your channel a while ago how are you making out living in Israel lucky you!!
Joy of Kosher,,, It looks great and I will try it in muffin tray, Im sure it will work same way,, But not in glass ive had two bad experiences with it both times exploded and What a Mess...
Okay Jamie here’s my question: If I were to boil the potatoes so they become soft and then mash them and then add all the ingredients and bake it, what will the end result be?
Looks really good! Although, I'd be worried that the shock of putting in cold potatoes into that hot glass pan would shatter the pan. Just a few weeks ago, we were baking spaghetti squash, and the pan shattered in the oven! Not fun!
GpD79 She added sizzling oil to the mixture before it went into glass pan. I made it twice. One time I forgot to add the sizzling oil first and it was a disaster. The second time I remembered and it was a beautiful thing.
Kindly cut, serve and taste ... So we could get close up pics of the finished product ... And kindly post link to the video of single serve potato kugel recipe please... Thanks 😘
I have eaten kugel made like this. Tastes like paste. I always soak my potatoes for at least five minutes AFTER they are grated. Gets rid of all that nasty starch. Also, who ever heard of using olive oil? Schmaltz makes all the difference.
my mother had a 'schmaltztop" in her fridge, and topped it up every friday afternoon. She stopped it when fat became the latest 'don't eat'. But it had a lot of flavour!!
My mother always uses a black baking pan, and always grind the potatoes and use rustic the red one are good but not for this dish! There to soft ! But you make it look pretty!
Looks pretty good, she could have cut into it to let us see. The recipe called for Idaho potatoes but she said she specifically uses red potatoes, a bit misleading...
Hi, you- tube recipes should not cut off suddenly in order to refer to other spots etc.. but rather show the finished result: Motto: cut and show! eat?
It's not the hard to understand that you have to see close up, a complicate recipe yes. It's kind of self-explanatory it's just shredded onions and potatoes in a pan with hot oil.....

If you don't have a grate function on your food processor, using a box grater is truly a labor of love/hazard to your fingers! Making this tonight :)

WOW, thank you for the info!!! Nice to know.

Too high heat for glass (Pyrex)
You impress me, thank you for the information, now I have a reason to continuing keeping my old pyrex, Good to know.

Be careful when you put cold potatoes in hot glass pan. It'll crack. Happened to me years ago
Ahhhh, I love potato kugel! This looks deeeeelicious!

Your kugel looks delicious. Will try it but of course with less oil. Thanks for sharing..

Hi Jamie,
This potato kugel recipe looks great! I can't wait to try it. I'll let you know how well mine turns out. I really like the individual idea from your cookbook best. You make it look fun to cook.

Wouldn't adding the hot oil cook the eggs?
This looks great.
Hi Jamie. Thank you so much for the wonderful recipe.
looks amazing! just want to share that I vote for using Idaho potatoes and also to hand-grate at least 2/3 of the potatooes plus the onion too
... also, need to be very careful with hot sizzling oil...
What do 11 people have against potato kugel?
Lol
39
:D
Up to 48. Probably anti-semites. LOL
probably it's the wine advertisement at the end ... wine has nothing to do with this dish
Wonderful video, thanks for sharing
I'M drewling...for passover...thanks and shalom from Mexico city

Why all the negative comments? WELL this is the internet .This was a lovely video thanks for sharing it.💟⚘⚘⚘
@Patricia Westervelt very well said!⚘⚘⚘
this isn't what was on the picture
rme1383 Exactly!

I wanted to see you cut this dish up How does it look when serving it ?
Best potato Kugel I've had. thanks!
Mmm,yummy,looks so good.
I liked it but I loved the individual cup of potato kugel
I will definitely have to try this I love potatoe kugel😋❤️❤️😋
A must make it soon. Thanks!
That looks delish!
Yummy so delicious thank you for recipes sharing ✌️🍀✨💖🙏🏼
Thanks! Great recipe! My kids love it!!
I'm surprised you don't wring the liquid out of the grated potatoes and onions. Is it not necessary? Thanks. You are adorable!
My favorite is the sweet apple noodles kugel
Have you ever eaten a Russet potato Oh my The best tasting yellow flesh potato for potato chips, french fries, or potato pancakes with just sauteed apples with cinnamon Tastiest potato yet
Very well done..will make it tommorrow.
Thank you for this recipe. Never made kugel before but the quarantine is forcing me to be creative in the kitchen. The only downside is that there weren’t any leftovers after dinner.
LOL, I will take that as a good sign.
Yes, I must take it upon myself to make a kugel. It would be my first attempt and hopefully there is some leeway as far as mistakes go.
Thank you/Tried it. fANTASTIC!!
Super Thank you
Fantastic!! I will make it today. Jag Sameaj!
How delicious and simple too! -- Delish food.- look forward to more videos.
nice
I ask why you do not clean the potatoes thoroughly "eyes"
Agree
Cause they taste great mate. That was a 4 year old question, i think you have got over it by now. But trust me, The spuds eye is on you
Jamie, you rock!
This looks delish! Thank you!
Love your recipes! Thank you for the videos!
Made this Kugel ten times and everyone loves it, thank you from The Zaidy who knows nothing. My one issue is the Pyrex pan, it has literally exploded on me three times. What do I need to know about Pyrex” ?
I know this was a long time ago, biut a very handy recipe for a non-jewish australian who happens to love potato dishes. Maybe it's the Irish in me, maybe it's just potatoes.
Looked so beautiful! Mine burned on the top and didn’t turn golden. What did I do wrong?🙁
Looks so good😋
Add a grated peeled and cored apple, tastes even better
☹️Tried three times and the Kugal came out mushy. I'm not convinced her's didn't either. She ends the video before she cuts into it.
SlamCheese I assume you’re using the red potatoes and not russets, so my suspicion is that your potatoes have been sitting in storage at the warehouse or wholesaler’s, something you can’t know or do a thing about! You’re only lucky that the Pyrex didn’t explode!
My mother would shred the potatoes, and as they sat moisture would be released. She would remove some of the water, and she would also add some matzoh meal. Her kugel always came out well, never mushy.
I noticed she didn’t squeeze out the potatoes after they came out of the food processor. May that’s why they come out mushy.
Thanks for sharing. Just wondering what potatoes are best for kugel. In Europe potatoes are better. Here in us i can't find which ones taste better. And i don't use oil , we use cup of very hot milk and bake with bacon and onion mix.
Russet potatoes are best
Jamie this recipe looks amazing I'm going to try to pull this off for Shabbos tomorrow fingers crossed Baruch Hashem!! I love you and I'm so happy that I found your channel a while ago how are you making out living in Israel lucky you!!
She lost weight in time .i made this ,absolutely fantastic.
I would have put the potato shreds into a tea towel and wrung out as much liquid as possible for crunchier results.
Or a ricer works real nice too! Good idea....Got that idea from someone making excellent hash browns...
me too, and add some matzo meal.
This recipe was great. But where can i get the mashed potato style version? It's served every shabbos at the kiddush club and its to die for
On the Chabad website, under videos, A Taste of Shabbos, she makes one like that.
it said it was a recipe for individual kugelis but it made one big one
Awesome recipe... I'm totally going to try this one!! Thank you!! :)
Joy of Kosher,,,
It looks great and I will try it in muffin tray, Im sure it will work same way,,
But not in glass ive had two bad experiences with it both times exploded and What a Mess...
temperature need to stay below 375 for glass
Nice
Bravo chef
Merci beaucoup shalom
I hear that the oven is preheated at 425 and then it drops to 375. Which is it for the entire cooking time?
beware: pyrex shouldn't go above 375
Suggest using coconut oil as it has high burn temp over 425
Fortunately my pan did not explode and I could enjoy the taste of kugel. :)
i try to make that recipe
Okay Jamie here’s my question:
If I were to boil the potatoes so they become soft and then mash them and then add all the ingredients and bake it, what will the end result be?
Looks really good! Although, I'd be worried that the shock of putting in cold potatoes into that hot glass pan would shatter the pan. Just a few weeks ago, we were baking spaghetti squash, and the pan shattered in the oven! Not fun!

Lookes good!

The recipe says Idaho. But you say Red in your video. Which should I use and how many pounds ?
love it. great video. buying your book :)
