Zucchini and Potato Kugel that is perfect for Passover and all year!

Kugel is a favorite Jewish food that is eaten all year long, for various holidays, in a variety of combinations! I make an apple kugel, a matzah farfal kugel, a noodle kugel, and so on! This is one of my favorite recipes and is so easy to prepare you will feel like a pro! While it's perfect for Pesach, it's also perfect all year for it's simple ingredients and ease to throw together! My mom's friend shared the original with us years ago, which came from "The Laws of Pesach-A Digest" by Rabbi Avrohom Blumenkrantz. After making it many times I have adapted it slightly to make it perfect-at least I think it is, while being yummy in your tummy! I shared this recipe recently with some lovely groups of women who participated in a Passover cooking class I taught, and the feedback was so great! I halved the recipe for the purposes of the class, so just note that you can easily do so and bake it in an 8 x 8 pan instead of a 9 x 13. You can easily grate by hand or throw the ingredients in a food processor with a shredding blade, either way it comes out great! Chag Sameach!

INGREDIENTS:

• 1.5 lbs zucchini (approximately 5-6 medium ones)
• 2 medium onions
• 1.5 lbs potato ( approximately 1-2 large or 3-4 small, peeled)
• 5 large eggs
• 1/4 cup vegetable/canola/grapeseed oil
• kosher salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees
• Pour oil (just enough to cover bottom of  9 x 13 glass dish) 
• Shred/grate the zucchini and potatoes either by hand or in a food processor with shredding blade
• Grate the onion by hand or in food processor
• Combine vegetables in a large bowl
• Beat eggs and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper (more or less according to your taste; you can also substitute 1 teaspoon of chicken bouillon powder)
• Add eggs to vegetables and mix well
• Remove pan from oven (with potholders, remember it will be hot!!) and add vegetable mixture to pan
• Bake at 375 for 1 hour or until top is browned and firm and you can see the sides and bottom are golden brown

Eat and Enjoy!
