Depends on what kind. Simple starches like white lokshen and white potato not so much as whole-grain lokshen and sweet potato. All veggies like squash are good for both the fiber and water content. What you don't want is refined sugar and white starch.

If you don't have diabetes, then I would say yes, go for it as long as the kugel isn't too salty.
Drink lots of water, and if you have room for fruit and veggies, do those too.
B'hatzlacha.

Interestingly, I've always heard that salty foods are great before a fast because they help your body retain water.
Or is that just a myth?

I’ve always been confused about this. Is salt good or bad for dehydration? I’m a bad faster and last fast I did better than usual. It happened to be that day before the fast (not at the meal right before) I ate some very salty food. Nothing else was different. If anyone has real information on whether salty food before fasting is a good or bad idea, let us know.

Too late now, but I would increase salt a starting two days before fasting. Day of is not idel because you'll feel thirsty during the fast.

Salt increases thirst. Yes, it attracts water, but the water stays outside the cells, and the salt actually draws water away from the cells. So while you're "retaining water" on a macro level, your cells are actually dehydrating, which is why you feel thirsty. After YT if you want the whole lesson on how this works I'll be happy to explain in depth. Or Google "osmosis."
Short answer: drink water and avoid salt.
