Potato Kugel
1/4 cup rendered chicken fat or vegetable oil; divided
1 cup chopped onions
1 cup chopped leeks
2 lb. russet potatoes, peeled and grated coarsely
2 Tsp. fresh parsley
4 eggs, beaten
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Heat 2 Tbl. of the fat in a skillet.
Add the onions and leeks and saute until golden.
Remove, cool slightly, and mix with the potatoes, parsley, and the eggs in a mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Place the remaining 2 Tbl. of fat in the sides and bottom of a 13-by 8-inch casserole (or similar size) and bake for 50 minutes or until golden.
You may want to brush more oil on top of the kugel during baking.
Makes 6 to 8 servings.
