How to Make Swiss Potato Kugel

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the thinly sliced potatoes, onions, sour cream, flour, eggs, salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg (if using). Mix well to combine.
  3. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the potato mixture and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened.
  4. Pour the potato mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the Gruyère cheese evenly over the top.
  5. Pour milk evenly over the cheese.
  6. Bake for 60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender. If the top is browning too quickly, tent it loosely with foil.
  7. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
