happy friday! today i have a mom date with my good friend, summer. we are going to relieve our cabin fever and refresh our mom spirit by having dinner at daily grub and seeing the speaker at kaneko. i am really looking forward to it. there is snow in the forecast so i thought i would give you a recipe for this weekend. also, become a fan of our facebook page and you can sign up for a veg box subscription or a menu + grocery planning service. . .and in the spring buy VEGGIES on FB. this world is crazy.
this recipe comes from our friend, ashley (aka "red"). she has some lithuanian blood in her, as well as mike and hendrix do. this dish is delicious and easy and delicious! it's perfect for this weather!
kugelis (aka kugeli)
4 eggs (beaten)
10-12 medium size russet potatoes, peeled & shredded
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 lb. bacon, chopped & fried
1/2 c. - 3/4 c. scalded milk
soak shredded potatoes in a bowl of water to allow starch to sink to the bottom of bowl. pour out water, reserving starch. add starch back to potatoes. add eggs, bacon, and onion to potatoes, as well as a bit of bacon grease from the pan. you want the consistency to resemble latkes - so pretty thick not super runny. season lightly with s&p. add scalded milk. you want the consistency to resemble latkes - so pretty thick not super runny. begin with 1/2 c. of milk, adding more as needed. grease 9x13 pan with more bacon grease. Put mix in pan and bake as directed: 20 minutes at 425 degrees, 375 degrees for 20 minutes, 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. let sit a bit and top with sour cream or applesauce (truly lithuanian). enjoy!
