For a thicker kugel, you can use a slightly smaller pan. Baking time would still be 60 minutes.
Simply Potatoes are found in the refrigerator section of your grocery store, usually near the eggs. If you are using another brand of frozen hash browns, make sure to completely defrost and drain them before using. You do not need to drain the Simply Potatoes brand.
You can make interesting flavors of Hash Brown Potato Kugel by using other flavors of hash browns, such as Southwest flavor.
If using another brand of hash brown, or frozen hash browns, make sure to defrost them before using. Additionally, try to get as close to the 2 1/2 pounds of hash browns as possible.
You can make this recipe completely plant based by using an egg substitute such as Just egg.

ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A GLUTEN FREE CHALLAH RECIPE?
I often get request for my Gluten Free Oat Challah Recipes. I developed three different recipes that can be braided, washed and benched upon.
The first is my Original Oat Challah recipe. It’s simple, not too sweet and delicious.
The second is my Honey Oat Challah Recipe. It’s a reader favorite! It’s sweet, easy to make and braid and delicious too!
The third is my Water Oat Challah Recipe. Completely plant based and vegan, you can still braid it and wash and bench. It’s lighter than the other two recipes and easy to make.

Sharon can I make this for passover? Substitute matzo meal for flour?
Never would have thunk I would find this so indiepsnsable.
Thanks for your question Polly. I would use potato starch instead of the flour. When making potato kugels for Passover I like to use potato starch instead. Hope this helps! Sharon
how many does it serve?
An ingtelilent answer – no BS – which makes a pleasant change
I would substitute potato starch instead of the flour. I usually like to pair like flavors and find that even when I make a traditional potato kugel I use potato starch during the year.
At last! Something clear I can unendstard. Thanks!
This makes one 9×13 inch pan. Depending upon how big you make the slices between 16 and 24 slices (unless you have a very hungry shnukering family who stealthily cut off small pieces to nosh without anyone seeing – then I'd make two kugels…one for shnukering and one for the meal!)
Haha, shouldn’t you be charging for that kind of knwegedlo?!
I wanetd to spend a minute to thank you for this.
How much potato starch would you use in lieu of the flour or matza meal?
The same amount. Please let me know how they turn out!
Do you thaw & drain the Simply Potatoes before mixing with other ingredients?
I do thaw them. I’ve never had to drain them, so I’m not sure how to answer. Anyone had this experience?
This would have been good to know at the start of the recipe. I was about to do the kugel with frozen hash browns.
Can you prep this and freeze it? Looking to start RH planning this weekend.
Thanks for your question Simi. I’m not sure. Generally potatoes don’t freeze well but this kugel just might. Please let me know how it turns out.
I want to halve the recipe..only 2 of us….how do I divide the 3 eggs? 2 or 1?
Thanks for your question Miriam. I’d use two large eggs. It will be just as good! Please let me know how it turns out. Sharon
I did follow recipe but my kugel fell apart. It just didn’t stick together. Any thoughts?
Thanks for your question Elizabeth. I wonder which type of hash browns you used and what the quantity was. Sometimes if the batter seems dry before baking you might consider adding an additional egg or two. This will keep the kugel from not sticking together. Please let me know how it turns out next time! All the best, Sharon
