How to Make My Favorite Basic Potato Kugel Baked

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch baking dish.
  2. In a food processor, combine potatoes, onion, eggs, matzah meal, oil, salt, pepper, and sugar. Process until well combined but still slightly chunky.
  3. Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread evenly.
  4. Bake for 70 minutes, or until golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
  5. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm!
