Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 2 medium Yellow onion
• 2 cups Cremini mushrooms
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 large Eggs
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable or avocado oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with 2 tablespoons of vegetable or avocado oil.

Step 2

Peel and shred the russet potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Place the shredded potatoes in a clean dish towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Set aside.

Step 3

Thinly slice the onions and dice the garlic. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and sauté until softened and golden-brown, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 4

While the onions cook, clean and finely chop the cremini mushrooms. Add the mushrooms to the skillet with the onions and sauté until they release their moisture and begin to brown, an additional 5-7 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, salt, pepper, and baking powder until smooth.

Step 6

Add the shredded potatoes, sautéed onions and mushrooms, and chopped parsley to the bowl with the egg mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the pan. Use the back of a spoon to press it down slightly for an even surface.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy. If needed, turn on the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness.

Step 9

Remove the kugel from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
