Potato Kugel

WHY I LOVE THIS RECIPE: This recipe came from a synagogue cookbook. We had 3 families that celebrated holidays together and the reason we had 3 was because my husband’s brother married my sister’s husband’s sister. That’s a story by itself! When we got together for the holidays each of the women took a holiday and set up each course and each one of us brought a special food. I prepared the Potato Kugel for my contribution. The family looked forward to indulging in this kugel and I loved making it for that reason.

The Tracing Roots & Building Trees project paired teens from Tucson Hebrew High with residents of Handmaker Jewish Services for the Aging to remember stories and favorite foods together. From this experience a cookbook, “L’dor v’dor: From Generation to Generation: Stories and Memories around Family and Food, was published.
