POTATO KUGEL

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350, with a heavy 9-by-9-inch baking pan or 10-inch cast-iron skillet inside.
• Peel the potatoes, and place them in a bowl of water. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs with the salt and pepper until well combined.
• Using a food processor fitted with the grating plate, grate the onion. Drain the potatoes, then grate them. Quickly add the potatoes and onions to the eggs, and add the oil, flour and baking powder. Mix well. (You can also grate by hand; if you do so, grate the potatoes directly into the eggs and oil, and stir them frequently to coat. This helps slow their browning while you keep grating.)
• Remove the pan from the oven, and slick it with oil. Carefully but quickly add the potato mixture, smoothing it out so that it is as even as possible. Bake for 2 hours, or until the kugel is creamy in the center and the whole top is a rich, crunchy brown.

POTATO KUGEL

Steps:

• In a large bowl, beat eggs just until blended. Add potatoes. Season generously with salt and pepper. Mix well.
• Oil the interior of a straight-sided 3- to 4-quart saucepan, and place over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add potato mixture. Smooth surface with a spatula. Cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook until mixture is set, potatoes are tender and edges of mixture turn firm and golden, about 1 hour. (Halfway through, the oil at the edge of the kugel should be sizzling. If not, raise temperature.)
• Run a knife around edge of pot. Reverse pot over a plate, and remove kugel. Return kugel to pot with uncooked side at bottom.
• Place pot over medium-low heat. Cook uncovered until bottom browns, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer kugel to a serving plate, and cut into wedges. Serve hot.
