Preparation
- Step 1
In a large bowl, beat eggs just until blended. Add potatoes. Season generously with salt and pepper. Mix well.
- Step 2
Oil the interior of a straight-sided 3- to 4-quart saucepan, and place over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add potato mixture. Smooth surface with a spatula. Cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook until mixture is set, potatoes are tender and edges of mixture turn firm and golden, about 1 hour. (Halfway through, the oil at the edge of the kugel should be sizzling. If not, raise temperature.)
- Step 3
Run a knife around edge of pot. Reverse pot over a plate, and remove kugel. Return kugel to pot with uncooked side at bottom.
- Step 4
Place pot over medium-low heat. Cook uncovered until bottom browns, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer kugel to a serving plate, and cut into wedges. Serve hot.

Needs onions!
This is basically a Spanish tortilla. As someone else noted, a cast iron skillet also works well and probably is easier to deal with for the flipping. Onions certainly as others have suggested, but why is no one suggesting garlic? I think I will give both of those a try tonight with the recipe.
Bland and tasteless. Needs onions! You can find a great potato kugel recipe in the Second Avenue Deli cookbook. Been making it for years. Time to go back to a winner. Sorry Alex, some of you other recipes are great.
Also can use preheated with oil cast iron skillet. Just be careful when adding potatoes as can splash and sizzle-, this is bottom crust.. Bake low and slow, 2hrs or more at 325. As oil rises top crust will form ( at least in mine). Definitely grated onion.
