Ingredients

• 6 large russet potatoes, peeled

• 4 large eggs
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with vegetable oil.
2. Grate the potatoes using a box grater or a food processor fitted with the grating attachment. Place the grated potatoes in a large bowl of cold water to prevent them from browning.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
4. Drain the grated potatoes and squeeze out as much liquid as possible using a kitchen towel or a cheesecloth.
5. Add the grated potatoes and chopped onion to the bowl with the egg mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
6. Pour the vegetable oil into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly to coat the bottom and sides.
7. Transfer the potato mixture into the baking dish, spreading it evenly and pressing it down gently.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the kugel is golden brown and crispy on top.
9. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
10. Serve the old-fashioned potato kugel hot, garnished with fresh parsley or sour cream if desired.
