It’s a big loaf of taters
This is really good as a side by itself or as the base for any number of meat or vegetable mixes. It also works well for breakfast as a substitute for hash browns or with fried eggs on top.
I used red potatoes but really almost any type will work. They can be peeled or left with the skin intact.
Potato Kugel
- 4 lbs potatoes grated
- 2 small onions grated
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup grated Romano
- 1/4 cup bread crumbs
- 3 tbsp butter 1 tbsp olive oil
Mix everything together but the fat. Season with black pepper. In a 9″ cast iron skillet heat the butter and oil in an oven at 350 degrees for five minutes. Remove pan and pour fat over potato mixture making sure to coat the sides of the pan all the way around. Spoon mixture back into pan and smooth down the top. Bake for 1 hour or until set and brown on top.

Sounds like a very simple dish to put together and get a great result.
That sound scrumptious! Love this type of recipe…
Hope you both had a FANTASTIC Thanksgiving!
Delicious Rufus, but, forgive me, I am a little bit confused here. Title is ‘Potato Kugel’. Kugel (german) = Ball ( i.e. shaped like a Tennis-, Christmas- etc. ball). It does not really matter,or, the recipe looks easy, quick, delicious. Thanks and ciao, Carina
You know that’s what my family always called it and they always made it this way. Maybe it changed shape over time.
Nice! I love potatoes any way they’re made.
Forget this being a side, I will have it as a main thank you very much.

Very nice!
What´s not love about this dish?!
I could eat the entire thing on its own.
Excellent 🙂
I could not be left alone with that skillet. Even AFTER the excesses of Thanksgiving!
Sounds like Rosti to me! Put some creamed turkey on top…Mmmmm
The breakfast option sounds delightful!
Plop a few eggs on top of that — I’m thinking some sunny sides — and that would be my heaven. Well, one version of it. Great stuff.
Very similar to the Swiss rostli potato I think, but it looks a lot more no fuss as it’s done in the oven. Love the sound of a poached egg on top!
Helllooooooo enormous breakfast for one. I’ve been looking for you.
Yum. One big rosti. Who can say no to that?
Totally yummy! Need a new way with potatoes and this is it!
Dang, that looks like my kinda pancakehashbrown.
Potatoes rock! 😀
gah this sounds so amazing, I love potatoes in any form, must try this!
Wow, this looks tempting. If it wasn’t past midnight I would go to the kitchen and try out this recipe straight away. Very cool pan too. 🙂
