PASSOVER POTATO KUGEL RECIPES

Steps:

• Peel the horseradish and cut out any dark veins. Open any nearby windows and use safety glasses to protect your eyes from strong fumes. Cut the horseradish into 3-inch segments. Pulse in a food processor equipped with a steel blade until finely chopped but not mushy. (Alternatively, grate the horseradish finely on a box grater.)
• Transfer the horseradish to a quart-size jar. Add the vinegar and 1 cup cold water until horseradish is almost covered, adding more water if needed to cover. Stir in the salt, seal and refrigerate until serving. The prepared horseradish will last up to 3 months in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Brush shallow 2-quart ceramic or glass baking dish with 1 tablespoon oil. In 12-inch skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil on medium until hot. Add onion and cook 9 minutes or until golden brown and tender, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, in large bowl, combine eggs, egg white, parsley, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper until eggs are blended. Add thyme to skillet and cook 1 minute, stirring. Remove skillet from heat. Working quickly, peel potatoes and grate in food processor with grating attachment or on the large holes of a box grater. Add potatoes to egg mixture as you grate to prevent potatoes from turning gray; then add onions. Stir until well blended. Transfer potato mixture to prepared dish and spread in even layer. Brush top of potatoes with remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Bake 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes or until browned on top and tip of small sharp knife pierces easily through potato mixture. Cool in pan 10 to 15 minutes. Garnish with thyme sprigs; serve warm. To make ahead, cool completely, cover with foil, and refrigerate up to overnight. Reheat, covered, in 400 degrees F oven 30 minutes or until warm.
