Why this spice: Collected Foods Bacon Salt in the potato batter seasons a crisp kugel with smoky savor usually reserved for schmaltz-heavy versions.

Ingredients

• 2.5 lb russet potatoes, peeled and grated
• 1 onion, grated
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 1/3 cup matzo meal or flour
• 1/4 cup oil or schmaltz, plus more for the pan
• 1.5 tsp Collected Foods Bacon Salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper

Directions

1. Heat oven to 400°F. Oil a 9x13-inch baking dish generously.
2. Squeeze excess liquid from potatoes and onion. Mix with eggs, matzo meal, oil, Bacon Salt, and pepper.
3. Spread in the dish. Bake 50–60 minutes until deeply browned and crisp on top.
4. Rest 10 minutes; cut into squares. Finish with a light dusting of Bacon Salt if desired.
