Potato Kugel is perhaps one of the most classic Ashkenazi Jewish dishes. It has graced many a Shabbat table for hundreds of years. It also is a traditional Passover recipe. Many families have their own version that they swear by, but this original version is the building block for all those variations as it is from the famous Nitra Cookbook. Don’t shy away from grating your potatoes by hand, as in this recipe. It really makes a difference.
