- it's much higher and lighter than the one at home
- you bite into it and it's softer
- has this delicious light taste the one I make it home always is very cakey

My husband looves this kugel. He wouldn't let me make any other recipes:
Overnight Potato Kugel:
5 lb potatoes, peeled
1 large onion
8 large egg
1 cup oil
½ cup boiling water
1½ Tbsp salt
⅛ tsp black pepper
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Grate the potatoes and onion. Mix in the eggs, oil and boiling water. Season with salt and pepper.
Transfer the potato mixture into a 9x13 inch pan. Bake for 2 hours, uncovered.
After 2 hours, cover tightly with 3 layers of foil. Place a pan filled with water on the bottom rack of water. Lower oven temperature to 220F and bake 8 hours or overnight.
I make and bake all in advance. On Thursday night I put it straight in oven for abt 1/2 hr on 350 with a pan of water underneath and then put on 200/220 for the night.
Its almost gone by the time shabbos comes...

The ones at shul have usually been heated for a long time . Try baking yours low and slow say a 9x13 for 2 hrs at least on 275.
Makes a big difference.
Also I find if your stingey on the oil and eggs you don't get the smooth texture.

I was just coming here to post the recipe when I saw it. Just made it this week, was very well worth the hassle! I got 2 round 9” and one loaf pan.

Seltzer instead of water makes it alot fluffier.

Is this kosher salt or table salt?

I bake mine on 350 for 2 hours then overnight. That is probably what the shul does. They keep it in a warmer or something over Friday night.

This is honestly the only potato kugel that I have ever made that actually tasted good. I was always a terrible potato kugel maker but this one changed that. I have also made it into overnight kugel by adding some more water. https://cookingwithtantrums.co.....ugel/

Do you mean a very commercial taste from a caterer as opposed to heimish

I've never met a potato kugel I didn't like ... however, the one thing I stay away from is adding fillers such as flour
ratio is usually one egg per potato the rest is flavour to your liking ... I add garlic to my ground mix
if you really want a professional cater-like version you need a meat grinder attachment to a kitchen-aid & voila

My mother makes the best 8 Potatoes, 5 Eggs, 1/4 cup oil, 1/4 cup seltzer, salt and pepper to taste. Do not use a food processor, grate it by hand.

grating by hand is essential imho ...
as for vegan ... replace each egg with 1 tbs flax seed mixed with 3 tbs hot water ... let stand 5 minute until it thickens

Use the S-blade in the food processor and process until it's small pieces, but not mushy. This keeps your kugel fluffy.
You will have to empty the food processor bowl into a mixing bowl after processing each batch of potatoes and onions, so that the pieces that were already processed don't get mushy when you do the next batch.

The Braun food processor's kugel blade gives the same results as hand grated.
