Ingredients

2 eggs
Matzoh meal
salt & pepper
3-4 tblsp veg oil

Handy Hint

Add a few drops of lemon juice to the mix as you go to stop the potatoes turning pink

Method

This is my Grandma's kugel recipe and I remember her standing in my kitchen every Pesach grating potato after potato by hand. Thanks to the wonders of modern technology however, I just bung it all in a food processor (sorry Grandma!).

-Peel & grate the potatoes & onion and squeeze out some of the excess water. You may need to do this in batches.

-Add eggs, salt & pepper and enough matzoh meal until it reaches the right consistency - this is sort of hard to describe, it should still pour but not be too wet or thin.

-Put veg oil in a large baking tray and heat for 5-10 minutes.

-Pour mix into hot tray. Some oil will come up at the corners - use a spoon to spread the oil over the whole top of the kugel.

-Bake on high until crust sets then at Gas 4 for ~45 min.

This is my recipe but I made it yesterday and i think unless you are cooking for 20 2.5kg of potatoes is too much. I suggest closer to 1.5kg but still 2 onions to give it flavour. This will make enough for about 12 people. It's a bit of a faf but came out great and everyone from my 7yo DD to my 88 yo grandma loved it.
