How to Make Asparagus Potato Kugel

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel and chop 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Boil in a large pot of salted water for 20-30 minutes, or until tender.
  3. Drain potatoes and let cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, mash thoroughly.
  4. While potatoes are boiling, snap off the tough ends of 1 lb asparagus. Boil asparagus in a separate pot of salted water for 3 minutes. Immediately drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
  5. In a medium sauté pan, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Sauté 1 medium onion, chopped, until softened, about 5 minutes.
  6. Add the sautéed onions and olive oil to the mashed potatoes.
  7. Add the cooked asparagus, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 2 large eggs to the potato mixture. Mix well to combine.
  8. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter or oil. Pour the potato and asparagus mixture into the prepared dish. Sprinkle the top evenly with 1 teaspoon paprika.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the kugel is golden brown and heated through.
