The thread here has a recipe with egg and one w/o. What's the difference in taste and texture?

1. From Sarahd:

Quote:

Yapchik
2-3 knee bones, washed
7-9 large Idaho potatoes, grated as for kugel
salt and pepper
grated onion, optional

Lay the bones on bottom of a (large) crockpot, add the salt, pepper and onions if using to the grated potatoes and pour over the bones. Add water around the edges and cover with aluminum foil (the original recipe says to cover with sliced potatoes, but they turn black and have to be thrown away.) Set crockpot on high till it starts cooking, then switch to low.

I have only ever made my recipe. I would imagine that adding eggs makes it thicker and more kugel-y.

I've always called it that kugely thing with the meat on the bottom. I am glad to know it has a real name. I thought my mother invented it because I have never seen it by anyone else.

I made this for shabbos hagadol

I used my kugel recipe, divided it in half, and put flanken bits in between. it was yuuuuuuuuum.

next time I would put most of the kugel mixture on the bottom cuz it gets the yummy flavor from the meat and the top part is just kugel. and maybe I'll also put knee bones on bottom. mm. mm. mm.

Well it was good. BUT, I like my kugel separate and Flanken separate, better.

btw I told someone I made yaptzik and she is looking at me like I'm crazy and says "it's yaptzuuuuuuuuuk" (the short u sound) she made it sound like I just said the most insane thing (she's a great friend, so I didn't feel that dumb). just a psa Smile

nope. I was gonna add that she is really chassidish, satmar, seams, the whole nine yards just to prevent you thinking that it must be dif pronunciation.

how sad that you were misled. I'm so sorry and apologize profusely.

(disclaimer: I have no idea why I just got into a really weird mood. please excuse my ramblings... Wink

Hey Squash- here I am dusting off an old thread-
I am making this yapchik for the first time this week and its in the crock pot on low, I used the same recipe as you so let me ask you-
did you cover the top with foil?
and there is now about 2.5 hours till shabbos. should I turn it to high and then low for shabbos? high then warm for shabbos? low then warm for shabbos? or keep it on low the whole time? it has been on low for a little more than an hour already.

I'm making this for Shabbos Hagadol (before Pesach) since my kitchen will be pesachdik and it's a great alternative to cholent. My MIL always makes a delicious one with lots of bones for flavor.

How does this recipe work without oil or any other shortening?

Am I missing something? This is very similar to my potato kugel recipe which does include oil. I imagine that without oil, the mixture would stick to the sides and bottom of the pot.

Any clarification would be appreciated. TIA

Most of these recipes call for 10 potatoes-can you cut the recipe in half or even quarter it? It is just me and DH-we don't need to eat 10 potatoes worth! Will it burn if it is smaller?

And what is the difference between oven vs crockpot cooking methods?

Thanks!

If you are using a potato kugel recipe, cut in in half or whatever suits you.
