It’s in the oven and I keep checking on it. It’s gonna cook for another 12 hrs till it’s “done” and it’s kinda greasy looking and is turning brown. Like the potatoes and the meat have all taken on the same color. Help? What did I do wrong? I can probably start a new one to have for tomorrow.

Did you put onions in the kugel part? I bet it will be delicious regardless. Probably just top part Browning (exposed potatoes)

Yes, I added onions. But the shredded potatoes started turning pinkish before I even got them mixed in with everything. Now it’s not brown like how meat browns in the oven, it’s like a one color slop in a Dutch oven (think: oatmeal). You’re giving me hope that it won’t be terrible. Probably very greasy but not terrible

If it's overnight kugel/yapchik, it's normal for it to turn dark brown. It'll be delicious. Think about how cholent eggs turn brown after cooking for 18 hrs. Don't worry about it

Sounds like it's behaving like a yapchik should. Yum!

I add hot water to batter helps it not turn brown.
my recipe is
8 eggs mix with 1 cup oil, 1 T salt and pepper
8-9 Idaho potatoes
1 cup hot water
1 cup seltzer

This sounds good! I found the recipe online and I think that 1. It needs more seasoning and 2. The potatoes are gonna be mush after baking so long

The potatoes are supposed to become mush after baking so long! They get nice and creamy. Shredding potatoes helps them keep their shape a little better though if that's what you'd like

After the first 2 hours of baking, you need to cook it covered at a low temp.

Great recipe for kugel but a lot of people leave out most if not all of the oil when making a yapchik, so I assume they'd reduce the liquids accordingly.

If I don’t have a grated or food processor for Pesach can I just cut the potatoes small?

My orig potato kugel recipe also includes 1 cup seltzer, helps keep kugel fluffy.
I omit seltzer when making yapchick as found it to be too much liquid. I also oil pan before putting in to get a good crust all around. yapchick I make it in crock pot and let cook overnight.

You might have better luck layering thin slices of potato but I'm sure either way will be delicious!
