Pesach cholent is just onions, potatoes and meat. Is there anything to thicken it up without processed products?

I add a hand made potato kugel on top and I make kishka in a crock pot bag and knot it.
Delicious

I love grated potato cholent, yapsuk. It's deliciously creamy.

Layered bones, then meat, grated onion, then grated potato and finished off with salt. No water. Delicious!

It doesn't thicken it up so much, but besides adding potatoes, I grate a few to get the liquid a little thicker. It's hit or miss. I forget from year to year.

You could use some non-chometz starch -- potato, arrowroot, etc. -- and make a roux. Such a fancy word for whisk a little water into some starch/flour and add small quantities of liquid/broth, making sure to whisk out lumps, until it's pretty thin, than add to soup/cholent/whatever and let cook.

In addition to the standard stuff I put in grated potatoes and grated zucchini (the zucchini really has no taste, but it dissolves and thickens the mixture). I've ready but not tried (due to nut allergies here) that if you put blanched whole almonds in, they'll come out similar to beans.

How exactly does that work? You make potato kugel and wrap it in baking paper and add it to the top if the cholent?

I add carrots and kohlrabi to your onions, potatoes, and meat.

Kosher.com has a great recipe from yussi for pesach cholent. He cuts some potatoes into small pieces to resemble barley. It’s really good.

It's our favorite cholent of the whole year! I saute onions potatoes and meat like usual and add a raw potato kugel mixture. Gives it a cholent consistency and is delicious!

Just clarifying as I think I'll be doing this. The whole mixture including eggs?

Yup!! When I make my kugels, I freeze a few pans raw that will be used for the cholent.

Can someone please explain why water is not needed in the chulent when using grated potatoes? Would it matter if one uses chicken in place of some of the meat? I just want to be sure that my recipe will be okay if I add no water.

If you add water it will be mushy and soupy. That would be like adding water to bone-in chicken in the crockpot for dinner. You'll end up with watery tasteless pieces of chicken. But if you just put in the seasoned pieces without water, the juices with naturally release with the slow cooking and you'll end up with juicy "roasted" tasting chicken from the crockpot. (And you'll even end up with lots of natural liquid gravy on the bottom of the crock.)

Thanks so much ra_mom. I have a few questions additional questions, if you don't mind. I only very occasionally make potato kugel, but when I do, I always squeeze excess water from the shredded potatoes (I use a food processor to shred them,) otherwise it takes forever for it to cook. Should I not squeeze the shredded potatoes before putting them in the chulent? Does hand grating potatoes make the "batter" less watery? Also, I try to remove as much fat as possible from the chulent meat and chicken that I add to my weekly chulent. Is keeping this fat in the chicken and meat necessary for the "no water" recipe described for Pesach? Thanks so much!

You don't need to squeeze out the water from the shredded potatoes. The water has the starch in it and actually helps with binding.
As long as you use bones like the recipe calls for (which emits juices and marrow) you don't have to leave extra fat on the proteins and can do as you usually do.

thanks again ra_mom! I've never used bones before. Any idea how many pounds one should use in say, a 6 qt crockpot? During the year I use an 8 qt, but I was thinking of getting a 6qt for Pesach because wouldn't the shredded potatoes take up less room than cubed ones?
