Ingredients:

6 potatoes
1 onion
3 eggs
1/4 cup walnut oil
Olive oil (for greasing)
Paprika, to taste
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

Grate the Potatoes and Onion:
- Begin by grating the potatoes and onion, either by hand or using a food processor. If grating by hand, be sure to remove any stray fingernails from the potatoes 😉.
Mix with Eggs and Oil:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes and onion with the eggs and walnut oil. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Season to Taste:
- Add a sprinkle of paprika, along with salt and pepper to taste. Mix again to ensure even distribution of the seasonings.
Preheat and Grease:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a Pyrex dish generously with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Transfer and Bake:
- Pour the potato mixture into the prepared Pyrex dish, spreading it out evenly. Place the dish in the preheated oven.
Bake to Perfection:
- Bake the Potato Kugel in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown and crispy, and the potatoes are cooked through.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once baked to perfection, remove the Potato Kugel from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. Slice into squares or wedges and serve warm as a delightful side dish or main course. Enjoy the comforting flavors and wholesome goodness of Mirj’s Potato Kugel!
