My potato kugel recipe for Shabbat

Well I was going to post some sephardic recipes here but I decided to share with you my version of potato kugel. I learned how to cook this type of kugel from an old lady who comes to our shul.

Ingredients:
6 large potatoes
3 large onions
2 medium size garlic cloves
3 eggs
5 table spoons of olive oil
2-2,5 tea spoon of salt
ground pepper (fresh tastes better)
1 cup water
1/4 cup olive oil-for frying onions

-Peel onions, dice them, saute them with olive oil in a pan, until they are caramelized and look golden brown.

-Peel potatoes, put them in a food processor. Add the onions to the potatoes, peel the garlic and add it to the mixture. Grate the mixture.

-Preheat the oven the 500 degrees

-Add eggs, salt, water, ground pepper, olive oil to the mixture. Let the food processor run for a couple of minutes.

-Pour the mixture into a pan, put the pan in the oven, turn down the oven heat to 400 degrees after 15 minutes. Let the kugel bake for 35-40 more minutes. You can check if the kugel is done with a toothpick. Simply dart the toothpick into the kugel one time and if pieces of kugel sticks to the toothpick this means it might need maybe extra 10-15 minutes in the oven.

-Enjoy

Shabbat Shalom!
