However, most kugels are out for me since they use lots of eggs to hold the other ingredients together, and my body can't tolerate eggs. There are egg free versions of kugel too, but they nearly all use flour or some other gluten or grain to bind it.
I decided to try to make my own gluten free, Paleo, and egg free version of potato kugel, and it was a smashing success. If you're a fan of potato kugel but haven't had it in a while because of your special dietary needs, you've gotta try this recipe out.
And if you've never tasted potato kugel before, especially if you're a fan of anything potatoes (as I am) try this out and let me know what you think!

Have you ever had kugel before, and more specifically, potato kugel? Does this look like a recipe you'd try?

I am definitely going to try this!! I would love to use fewer eggs!
ReplyDeleteHave you ever substituted half a sweet potato for 1 or 2 of the potatoes?
And have you ever heard of the trick of heating the oil in the kugel pan in the oven while it is preheating and while you are shredding the potatoes and then throwing the ingredients into the oil in the pan?
I would try this if I was willing to put that much work into a potato dish.
ReplyDeleteThat reminds me of what some people say when I tell them I quilt: "You cut all that fabric into small pieces and then sew them back together again."
I am willing to do that. To grate potatoes and onions? I don't think so. I would be happy to eat it, though.
That is what food processors are for! Then I think about how I hate washing the food processor, and then I remember that that's what a dishwasher is for.
DeleteMy wife is Lithuanian and they have a dish called Kugeli that her family makes often. It's the same thing except without the almonds and flax, but with bacon and eggs added. Then you serve it topped with sour cream and/or sauerkraut.
