We make it Friday for erev Shabbos. It never tastes the same once it is reheated.

If I make it Wednesday, no one complains if it stays in the fridge and gets reheated erev Shabbos. If I make it earlier, I freeze and reheat and ditto.

Essentially, 8 - 10 potatoes grated, 5 eggs, 1/2 c. oil, 2 tsp. salt, a few shakes pepper, 1- 2 onions, grated.
Mix, bake in preheated oven 375 for about 75 minutes.
Most kugel recipes are variations of the theme. Some people puree some or all of the potatoes, heat the oil and then mix into the batter, add some boiling water...I'm sure you can google reheating kugel, frozen or otherwise, for tips.
I also wanted to say that my view might necessitate a move of this thread to controversial subjects I fully understand how there's nothing like fresh kugel on erev Shabbos. If this is a priority to anyone, go for it, but streamline your erev Shabbos, e.g. don't leave everything for e"Sh. Shabbos should require effort - after all, mi shetarach b'erev Shabbos yochal b"Shabbos - but not undue stress.

Potato kugel is one of the few things we leave for erev Shabbos. It is 4pm on Thursday and my table is already set, my vegetables peeled, my soup simmering, fish cooked, chicken marinating...
If everyone goes into Shabbos with a full belly and a happy smile, it is also likvod Shabbos.
Erev Shabbos isn't a fast day. People have to eat. They might as well have pleasant memories or erev Shabbos and their special erev Shabbos treat.

ITA. I just can't deal with the food processor out so late. But in my family we have "2:00 kugel", which is sometimes a bit later, but it's for that post lunch, after school gap. (Cake, fruit, veg., and freshly hard boiled eggs are available later.)

Freezing potatoes is always a problem but a trick that I learned (from a caterer friend) - totally defrost it and let it reach room temperature (also when just taking out of the fridge) before putting it on the blech - Then you won't get that soggy consistency that you sometimes get from reheating potatoes

Interesting. I thought the conventional wisdom was to davka NOT let it defrost but put it tightly covered straight into a hot oven.
