Swiss Potato Kugel Recipe

Swiss Potato Kugel Recipe Swiss Potato Kugel Recipe photo by Taste of Home Rating 5

I've enjoyed cooking and baking ever since I was small. I'd rather read a cookbook than a best-selling novel. I thoroughly enjoy planning a sumptuous dinner for my family. We have a daughter who loves potatoes of any kind. I believe she could eat this dish and pass over all the other goodies on the table.

I made this Kugel and after baking for 40 minutes the potatoes where not soft. I would suggest 50 minutes or more. Cutting a piece to check might be the answer, but spoils the lovely looking presentation.

This was great! I did use Pepper Jack cheese instead of Swiss and I used all 2% milk instead of the 1/2 & 1/2. I also had to cook it for 50 minutes at 350 and then 12 minutes at 375 to get it bubbly and browning. (Only temperatures higher than 350 cause sugars to caramelize, thus yielding browning.)

I'm sure that it could make 9 servings if you really stretched it, but my husband, 2-year-old, and myself ate the whole thing...

Susan you could substitute all milk, but it won't be as creamy.  Perhaps use 1/2 cup of milk and 1/4 cup of half & half or fat free half & half if you're looking to cut back on calories.

Can I use milk instead of half and half?
