How to Make Your Potato Kugel Super Elegant

 You’re making potato kugel anyway – so why not make it special?

I’ve spoken about potato kugel a lot on this site. We started with basics – how to make the best. We discussed freezing it here, and even a twist called kugel bites as a side dish. Renee Muller shared how to make yapchik (aka potato kugel and meat) here.

Here is an idea for those looking for a new idea of how to serve potato kugel. Aside from presentation, it’s a great idea for those that love the corners and edges of kugel.


Start with spaying your 7-inch round pans with some oil spray, or grease the bottom and sides. Place a circle of baking paper on the bottom of the pan.

Fill each pan ¼ full. You should yield about 12 round 7-inch kugels from a 5-pound bag of potatoes (1 recipe
of this).

Bake at 350⁰F for 1- 1 ¼ hours. Surprisingly, it still needs that amount of time to bake, but adjust the time according to your oven.

    Thank you, these came out beautiful and made a great appetizer! I made these in smaller pans, approx 4”, served with pulled meat (chuck roast in the crock pot, with 1 c water, chicken soup mix, spices) and garlic mayo, a huge hit!
