Potato kugel

Potato kugel is a potato-based kugel of Ashkenazi Jewish origin, made with grated or pureed potatoes, onions, eggs, flour or matzo meal, oil, salt and pepper.

Overview

It is commonly served for Shabbat and other Jewish holidays. It is more similar to a latke than it is to a noodle kugel, as there are sweet variations of noodle kugel but all potato kugel are always savory dishes. Potato kugel is typically made in a large casserole dish, although it is also sometimes prepared in individual ramekins. Potato kugel can be made with grated potatoes, which gives it a crispier texture, or it can be made with potatoes puréed in a food processor, creating a ”pudding-like consistency” according to Jewish chef Jamie Geller[1]

Some modern cooks add a small amount of baking powder. In addition to lightening the dish, the powder's alkaline chemistry breaks down the potatoes and produces a smoother texture while promoting browning.

gollark: I don't mean change C accordingly, I mean don't propagate the mistake to new languages.
gollark: A byte, i.e. "foolish ASCII or extended ASCII character", should just be `byte` or `u8` or something.
gollark: Unicode should be the default, and something should not be named `char` if it cannot actually hold a character.
gollark: Just because many old languages do the char-is-byte thing doesn't make it not stupid and harmful in this era of unicode.
gollark: Wrong and bad. A char should be a !!CODEPOINT!!.
