How to Make Potato Kugel

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Grease a 13x9 inch baking pan with cooking spray.
  3. In a large skillet, sauté 1 medium onion, chopped, in 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil until golden brown. Set aside.
  4. Prepare your favorite potato pancake mix according to the package directions. (Note: The amount of water/liquid will depend on the specific box mix. Please follow the package instructions).
  5. Gently fold in 1 cup of grated carrots, 1/2 cup matzoh meal, and your desired seasonings (see suggestions below). Then, stir in the sautéed onions.
  6. Let the batter rest for 3 minutes to thicken.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Check for doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with your favorite applesauce or sour cream!
