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.

My husband makes this nearly every week, it's his go to for our kugel recipe and it is so delicious, we make it year-round! Really recommended, we freeze it normally, covered well and then put on the hot plate straight from the freezer, it's piping hot by the time we eat it

Yes you can freeze potato pudding/Kugel. To warm it up: just put it straight from the freezer into a 350-375 degrees oven for 1-1 1/2 hours. NO DEFROSTING BEFOREHAND
