I do equal part potatoes and eggs salt and pepper. I bake 1hr30min on 400. I had once with ferfel sprinkled with white pepper and salt, delish.

Try it. It might make a couple tries to get it just right. Smile

It stayed so white over Y"T and stayed good tasting too.

I wonder what they do differently.

It tasted similar to "Guttmans" (used to be in BP) Potato Kugel.

I don't want to sound negative but chemicals?

I find that staying white has to do with the type of potatoes you use
I like yellow potatoes
I also find the Idaho potatoes too starchy

Vitamin C powder is the secret to a white potato kugel. It is sold in pharmacies and health food stores

If it had equal parts of egg and potato it should be yellowish, not white

It is also sold in supermarkets and called sour salt. It's citric acid. Don't use more than a scant 1/4 tsp or else your kugel will taste like lemon.

I saw that they're having a sale, 51% off Pesach stuff. Maybe you should just stock up? Very Happy

Really? But kugel is the same all year round. Are they really selling it at half price?

Vitamin C is ascorbic acid, not critic acid.

Sour salt is citric acid; vitamin C is ascorbic acid. Both antioxidants, which is how they keep the spuds white, but two different chemicals, though both associated with citrus fruits.

No no. Buy powder. You don't want the coating from the tablet.

Use just a pinch or two.

I have used Vitamin C and it does help with color, but the Batyaskitchen potato kugel's texture is amazing. I can tell they used a string grater, for at least some of the potatos for the kugel, bec you can still see the strings of potato. Im wondering if they use some kind of binder like Matza Meal or something.

She's non-gebrokts for pesach. Who needs binder for potato kugel? It's so starchy on it's own and gives the most creamy slightly gooey texture.
