Welcome to my table - sides

christmas kugel

There are so many wonderful versions of kugel. I'm not sure where this one came from, but it is my

 Ingredients:

   

8 oz extra wide dried egg noodles

7 tbs butter, melted

6 large eggs

1 tsp kosher or sea salt

1 c sugar

1 pint (16 oz) small-curd cottage cheese

1 ½ c sour cream

1 container (15 oz) whole milk ricotta cheese

1 pkg (3 oz) cream cheese, at room temperature

2 c. milk

1 c golden raisins

2 tablespoons cinnamon


Cook noodles until al dente. Toss with 6 tbs butter and set aside. Butter 9 x 13 glass dish with remaining 1 tbs butter.


In a large bowl whisk eggs until blended and then whisk in the salt and sugar. Using a rubber spatula or large spoon, add the cottage cheese, 1 cup of sour cream, the ricotta cheese and the cream cheese and mix until combined. Add the milk, raisins, and noodles and mix gently until combined.


Pour mixture into prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with the cinnamon. 

Bake uncovered until the kugel is set and the sides are lightly browned, about 1 ½ hours. (The kugel can be baked up to 2 days in advance, allowed to cool, covered, and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature and then cover and reheat in a preheated 250-degree oven until hot – about 40 minutes.)


To serve, cut into 2-inch squares and transfer to a warmed serving platter, or serve directly from baking dish. Alternatively, cover and keep warm for up to 1 hour before serving. Put the remaining sour cream in a small bowl and pass at the table for diners to add a dollup.


Serves 12


My mother loved to have leftover kugel in a bowl with half-n-half.  I don't personally care for the sour cream dollop, but that's what this recipe calls for.  Also - you know I love a make ahead recipe so this one is a keeper.  It's wonderful as a side dish to brisket, which is how I usually do it!!

mashed potatoes

Inspired by recipe from Barefoot Contessa at home (Ina Garten), but altered by my own experience

 Ingredients:


 3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes

kosher salt

1 stick unsalted butter

3/4 to 1 cup buttermilk, shaken

1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper


 Instructions: 


 1. In a large pot bring water and 2 tablespoons salt to a boil.  Add peeled and cut cubes of potatoes to water and bring back to a boil.  Lower heat and simmer until tender when pierced with fork.  

2. Melt butter. 

3. When potatoes are done, drain and mash with mixer.  Add melted butter and buttermilk. Add 2 teaspoons of salt and pepper to taste.  To keep warm place bowl over a pan of simmering water for up to 30 minutes.  You can add a little extra hot whole milk to keep them creamy.


Her recipe calls to add a little whole milk also, but I don't keep whole milk in the house, plus I don't think it needs it.  I do add a bit of 1% milk if it needs thinning.  This is about the only way I like to make mashed potatoes anymore.
