Submitted by M5Simchi   You know I always thought potato kugal is so easy to make. But really?! Are there any rules? Nope! Except if you have rules that help you understand how to get the right texture so that it will be just what your husband is looking for lekoved shabbos! I am writing this as a guide for balabustas so that they know why their kugal is coming out dry or just not right. It’s not hard to follow but everything just takes time till you get it right. The key ingredient is the eggs. It’s what keeps the potatoes together. Ever wonder why some kugals have like a pudding on the bottom? it’s the eggs mixing with the potato juice that you put in food processor. It’s actually my favorite part. So if your kugal comes out dry, the answer is because there is not enough eggs. Once you know how much eggs you need for the amount of potatoes you are making everything else should fall into place.
