Matzah Meal, Onions, Pareve, Scallions, Sweet Potatoes, Vegetarian, Holidays, Passover, Rosh Hashanah

3.5 lbs sweet potatoes (I used 4 large sweet potatoes)
2 large onions (diced)
1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup scallions (minced)
5 eggs
1/2 cup matzah meal (or flour if not during Passover)
1/4 cup butter (melted and cooled (or margarine if serving with a meat meal and keeping kosher))
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Saute diced onions in 1 tablespoon olive oil until brown.
Dice sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes and mix onions and sweet potatoes in a blender until shredded or shred with a hand grater or food processor.
Squeeze out excess water from onions and sweet potatoes and transfer to a bowl.
In a separate bowl, mix together eggs, matzah meal, scallions, salt, pepper and butter. Add in potato mixture and combine until well mixed.
Butter a 12x9x2 inch glass baking dish. Pour mixture into the dish and bake for one hour until cooked through and brown on top.

Modified the recipe a little after the first goaround. Used eactly 4 lbs sweet potatoes , which I shredded in a Salad Shooter. Mixed with 2 T. salt, let them drain a while before squeezing liquid. Then added another 1/2 t. salt and one packed 1/4 C. flour, then the cooked diced onion andbthe other ingredients. Fits the recommended size pan perfectly and tastes great.

I see this kugel is an older recipe but I just made it today in 2021 for our Seder this week. It is SUPER delicious. Amy...you are always the guest of honor at my holiday tables. I also made the brisket braised in coffee...the family’s all time favorite.
