Please tell me your secrets to a white oily ooey gooey potato kugel

I want to improvise a bit

So far I use 4 loose large potatoes
1/4 white onion
3 eggs
Salt
Black pepper
Heated oil

I broil it the first 10 min then bake for an hour on 350

Still comes out meh and not like the kiddush potato kugel you eat at shuls or anywhere else.
I’m looking for that shiny mushy white inside that’s also fluffy if you get my drift.
And if there’s a substitute for seltzer because we’re out.

You need to put a quarter cup of seltzer in there.
Also where are your eggs? (Which I don't use, but then you need an eggless recipe)

I use medium sized loaf pans. Not the humongous 9x13
one day iyH I’ll have a family big enough to make a 9x13 kugel

I don't like oily, gooey kugel. But a couple of ideas:

Don't use a loaf pan, which is narrow and deep. Use an 8x8 cake size pan. (In fact, even if I need more, I use extra 8x8, not a larger pan.)

Use a finer shredding blade on your food processor.

Reduce cooking time for a gooier consistency.

You got to do it for longer on higher number, like 400 for an hour and then lower to 350 for as long as you like.
And make it in 8x8 and heat up some oil in the pan before putting your mixture in.

You need to bake it overnight on 250’ for 8 hours or more. Put a try of cold water under the jug to to prevent it from drying out.
I use Leah Schapira’s recipe from the fresh and Easy cookbook. I use a 5 pound bag of potatoes and divide it into 3 loaf pans.

I do almost the same recipe but doubled. So 8 potatoes.
But I add 1c boiling water after I’ve mixed the batter (so 1/2c for u)
Then I bake it really high till it starts to brown on top. Then turn it down n bake 1.5-2 more hrs.
Also while I’m prepping the batter I preheat the pan with a bit of oil on the bottom. This way the kugel doesn’t stick to the pan and it gets a nice crust.
Pyrex makes the best kugel

Try using yukon gold potatoes!
I actually add a piece of zucchini to my kugel, I like the texture it adds.

I have a great recipe. The potatoes are really meant to be grated by hand but you could cheat and use a kugel blade Smile

6 medium sized idaho potatoes
6 eggs
2 onions
2 cups boiled water
3 tsp salt
2/3 cup oil
pepper to taste


bake on 425 for about an hour and a half. It comes out gooey and delicious!!
ENJOY!!!! Thumbs Up

Okay sorry to bump this up but there’s no canola oil in the stores so I ended up getting olive oil. Would that change the taste?

Depends how strong the olive oil is. There's a fair chance that it will affect the flavour, but some people actually prefer it that way. A mild olive oil won't have much impact. Try it and see what you think.

If you don't like it, buy walnut oil, which doesn't really have much flavour.

Extra light olive oil is flavorless like canola oil.

It's delicious, doesn't even need to be overnighted.

Just saw a recipe from Gribeve Rebetzin. She says the trick is to blend the potatoes in a blender specifically, not a good processer
