potato kugel
Overview
It is commonly served for Shabbat and other Jewish holidays. It is more similar to a latke than it is to a noodle kugel, as there are sweet variations of noodle kugel but all potato kugel are savory dishes. Potato kugel is typically made in a large casserole dish, although it is also sometimes prepared in individual ramekins. Potato kugel can be made with grated potatoes, which gives it a crispier texture, or it can be made with potatoes puréed in a food processor, creating a "pudding-like consistency" according to Jewish chef Jamie Geller.{{cite web |last1=Geller |first1=Jamie |title=Potato kugel preparation and recipe |url=https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HYgYymFJ7fo |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211221/HYgYymFJ7fo |archive-date=2021-12-21 |url-status=live|website=Youtube |access-date=18 October 2019}}{{cbignore}}
Some modern cooks add a small amount of baking powder. The powder's alkaline chemistry breaks down the potatoes and produces a smoother texture while promoting browning.{{Cn|date=February 2025}}
