Sarge's Deli Recipes: Potato Kugel

There's nothing quite like a steaming hot piece of potato kugel. Pronounced "koo-gul" (or "kee-gul" depending on where you’re from), Potato kugel is one of the few dishes that is appropriate for most Jewish holidays (including Pesach), and can be served as an entree, side dish, or dessert, hot or cold, day or night.

The word “kugel” is German for “ball” (or cannonball), likely referring to the round and puffed up shape of the original kugel which today has evolved into a square shape. It comes in a few varieties, but is typically a baked sweet or savory pudding or casserole made from noodles or potatoes.

Sarge's famous Noodle Kugel and Potato Kugel sell year round, however our Potato Kugel can be found on almost every Passover Table. If you want to make our Potato Kugel at home this year, here is the recipe!
