For all you expert potato kugel makers: I don't use olive oil in baked goods as I don't like the taste. I use canola oil. How about potato kugel? Does olive oil ruin the taste or is that what you use?
Thanks and a good Y"T!

I only like the taste of canola oil. That’s what I use and just have one piece of kugel. Anyway you slice it, it’s not healthy. Everything in moderation…

I use Costco olive oil (it's a mix of evoo and light oo) and it's amazing. Not that it makes it much healthier to eat.. But still good

I use olive oil for everything except for baking and potato kugel!

Thanks so much! Glad I asked. By the way, on an old thread, someone referenced this recipe: https://cookingwithtantrums.co.....ugel/ For those who use it, and for those who just know about these things, do you think 1/2 cup of oil is enough if you add additional eggs or something else instead?

in case it matters, I hope to bake it for only 1 hour at 450 and then lower the oven to 350 so that I can put in chicken. It can be at 350 up to 1 hour and 25 minutes if necessary.

I put a bit more than a half cup of oil. But I put in 7 or 8 eggs.

Thanks, pizza4. Do you use the recipe in the link? Do you bake it at 450 the whole time or lower it after an hour or so? I will use russet as the recipe suggests.

Is russet same as Idaho?
I bake it just 350 for little more than 2 hours, close to 3 probably. But that's easier for me than remembering to turn down.

From what I've read, they are both low moisture potatoes. The recipe said not to squeeze out the water. I hope that's right!

Pesach vegetable oil is cottonseed oil. During the year it's soybean oil.

Right don't drain the water or it'll be too dry. When the top is nice and brown and the 2-2½hour mark passed its probably good. Take a piece and taste!

I landed up baking the kugel (5lbs of potatoes in a 9 x 13 disposable pan) for 450 for just over an hour and at 350 for about 1 1/2 more. The bottom was really burnt. The inside tasted good; the burnt bottom made it very hard to cut pieces. The inside was not underdone. What can I do to prevent the bottom from being burnt? If I bake it at 350 the whole time, Im afraid the middle won't be done. I thought maybe I could squeeze out some of the liquid so that it would be done enough in the middle in 2 1/2 hours at 350?

I do 450 for 1 hour ~20 minutes then 350 for another 1/2 hour if that. And I bake it loaf pans because I like a deeper kugel.
I do not squeeze out any liquid, in fact I add approx 1 cup of seltzer. (I also preheat the oil in the pans and then add it to the batter).
Hatzlachah!
