Potato kugel is a potato-based kugel of Ashkenazi Jewish origin, made with grated or pureed potatoes, onions, eggs, flour or matzo meal, oil, salt and pepper.
Potato kugel is typically made in a large casserole dish, although it is also sometimes prepared in individual ramekins.
[1] Some modern cooks add a small amount of baking powder.
The powder's alkaline chemistry breaks down the potatoes and produces a smoother texture while promoting browning.
