Hello hive friends.
In my last post I went crazy with my spiralizer gadget that I dragged out of my closet. I made a spiralized veggie salad.
I am once again playing with my kitchen toy. For the first time I am using spiralized potato. I have never cooked anything that I have spiralized. In this case I will definitely cook it. After all, who wants to eat a raw potato?
This dish is inspired by the memory of a Jewish dish called "kugel". I was once married into a Jewish family, where I discovered traditional dishes eaten on holidays, such as Passover during a Sader dinner.
I really enjoyed these foods at the time. They consisted of such things as matza ball soup, brisket, gefilte fish, boiled egg dipped in salt water, tzimmes which was a meat stew with prunes, and a dish called "kugel".
There are different types of kugel of which noodle kugel is often traditional for these holidays. It's also often like a dessert. It can be sweet or savory. There is also potato kugel. I will not call my dish kugel for fear that a Jewish Bubby will be angry that it's vegan and it isn't her recipe. This will be the dish that plays the part of kugel.
For this I will noodlize a potato, making potoodles and with this, I will have both a potato and noodle "kugel" all in one.
Okay so if you want to make something like this, and you don't have a fun gadget like the spiralizer, you can do this the normal people's way. That would be, with a grater or a food processor.
I don't always peel my "taters", if they have a thin skin like this, but I wanted to this time.
The potatoes so far are one of the easiest things to krank in the machine.
"Et voila"!
It really is satisfying to have these long curly strands flowing from the gadget, as you krank from the other end.
Come on, admit you want one of these things. I wish one of these on every Hive cook.
For the regular grated ones, you must strain the water out with a colander or sieve. I did it with this as well. Not much liquid came from processing them this way. That was a real bonus. I would not bother with it next time.
Now comes the crazy part. Can I spiralize an onion? After trying I would not recommend it, unless you like to cry while cooking. I would be using a mandoline or the old fashion, cut with a knife, way.
I don't think, that a traditional dish of this type would have fresh herbs in it. I really don't know, but I needed to add more then an onion to this. I usually like a wide variety of spices, but not always. I have learned to appreciate many types of foods from different cultures, after growing up in Canada, which is one of the worlds biggest melting pots of diversity.
I also wanted the dish to have a bit of non brown and white ingredients in it along with adding extra flavor.
A traditional kugel always has eggs in it. With this dish I'm using something that I can't always get. I can only get this once in a while at one store down the street.
This is a rare find for me, so I bought everything left on the shelf (3 of them). Last time I bought one and never saw it again until the other day. This product is a plant based egg, that scrambles so much like egg, that you could almost fool someone. I don't know if it has any nutritional value but it's nice to have for certain things like this potato dish.
The base of the vegan egg, is mungbean. I've tried making it before but they have the secret processing method with other ingredients. Mine was not satisfactory.
Potato noodle casserole
900g potatoes
150g onion20g green onion
10g dill
20g parsley
150g plant based egg (Just Egg)
75g soy milk or other plant milk
30g oil
1/2 cup flour
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 Teaspoon garlic powder
Salt to taste
Adjust the item amounts as you like or add other ingredients. If you don't have the egg product you probably don't need it. Using this helps it have a more authentic texture. If you don't want to use wheat flour you can use potato starch.
If you are using real eggs you would probably use 3 to 5 which would provide quite a bit of moisture. I added soy milk for extra moisture. The vegan egg product can be quite dense after it cooks, so I wasn't sure if I should use too much. It worked out anyway with the amounts that I used.
After coating the noodles with most of the oil, I added the rest of the ingredients and tossed thoroughly.
I put parchement paper on a rectangle pan and oiled it first. The potato mixture was added to the pan. I didn't really know what temperature to choose because of how thin the strands of potato were. I just stuck to 350F and kept an eye on it. After around 20 minutes I turned it around and cooked until the potatoes were tender and then put them under the broiler for a few minutes to get golden brown.
This tasted so much like a European potato pancake which I enjoy. I realize that if someone didn't have an oven this could be fried in a pan like a potato pancake.
The noodle shape potatoes gives a texture that I like compared to the grated ones, but not that different. The plant based egg really worked nicely and I was really happy with the taste.
Some pickled beets that I had in the fridge and some cucumbers were the perfect accompaniment. Both of those items are often found with dill.
This would normally be a side dish but for me it's a fine main dish if accompanied with a salad.
Thanks for dropping by and have a great day

Thank you.
My dear friend @carolynstahl Your dish, which is inspired by the memory of a Jewish dish called “kugel”, looks exquisite. I will always be with your favorite and very special foods. I wish you much success in your publication. Hugs from Venezuela.
Thank you my friend. I appreciate your support and good wishes. Hugs to you too!
When I see you happy, with what you do, I really like my great friend @carolynstahl
You look fun with your new toy 😛
Yes you are correct haha.😅
How are you dear friend @carolynstahl good night
The Jewish community has recipes for exquisite dishes, I have worked for a family for several years and thanks to that I learned about many dishes from their culinary culture.
I loved this recipe, the ingredients you used and the step-by-step process of creating the dish.
The dish looks delicious, and invites you to try it
I take this opportunity to wish you a splendid night
Oh thank you for your kind words my friend @jlufer. I wish you a wonderful day.
How great the noodle shaped potatoes and the vegetable egg what a great buy, and it really looks like a wonderful dish.
It is fun to make and so easy but tasty. Thank you for your lovely comment.
Potoodles! Hehe. I knew you would get to use your spiralizer again soon; it's like playing a little after so much work and work. And you're right, my friend, I do want one; perhaps I can count on Santa this time. Who knows!
Your casserole looks light but satisfying and so flavorful. Besides, it looks pretty on the plate. Loved the beet pickles; I have a recipe with garlic and parsley that I like so much but have not made in a while. Looking at your beautiful dish makes me want to prepare it again.
Big hug and a radiant day 🌞💚
It was nice to use the toy and it made the texture much better. I was lucky to find mine used for 5 dollars. I'll tell Santa you really deserve it. 😊💚
Thank you so much!
Sounds simple and interesting.
It's really simple but tasty. Thanks for your visit my friend.
That looks absolutely amazing! At least I know what I’m going to be having for dinner. 😉🙃😄💕❤️. We’ll have to get to the bottom of making something similar to Just Eggs. It’s very hard to get here ,too . 🤷♀️
Beautiful presentation and fabulous pictures. Innovative as always.
If the egg thing didn't go in it would still taste good. It would just be like a large potato pancake. It's how it tasted actually.
Thank you so much.😊

Hi Carol
I also want to go crazy with a spiralizer like this :)
I love preparations with potatoes and this dish of yours really provokes me to try it.
Potatoes are always nice to have on hand. I wish you would get a spiralizer so you can enjoy the fun.😊
In the meantime I will cut the potatoes finely and - pretending insanity - forgetting that there is a spiralizer hahaha ☺️
Baked potato noodles, sounds very interesting. I like the way you prepare it, like grilled instant noodles. This is so healthy I have to try it
It's simple but if you do it you can add the flavors that you like. I'm thinking of doing a spicy one some day. This one was more European.
Thanks for dropping by.
Woww love it
Thank you @pearlyshell!
I've been wanting to buy a spiralizer for ages, but my husband thinks (and he is right) that I have too many gadgets already 😂
I'm not a big fan of such supplements, but I agree that sometimes they are nice to have. I've seen this on shelves already, but never dared to try as I'm scared of the eggy flavor. Does that actually taste like an egg?
Your recipe reminds me of a quiche that I would normally make with tofu instead of an egg. And I must admit that it looks delicious!
I understand having too many gadgets. Eventually the storage space runs out haha. I just happened to find this used for 5 dollars so I couldn't resist.
The just egg doesn't taste like egg at all. It just scrambles and firms like egg. I didn't mind the taste of egg, I just don't eat animal products.
Oh yeah quiche! Thanks for the reminder. I must try that. Tofu quiche is a good idea. Thank you for the visit. Best wishes to you.

Thank you.
This is a delicious and creative recipe for a vegan kugel! I love how you used the spiralizer to create potato noodles, and the plant-based egg is a great way to add protein and moisture to the dish. The pickled beets and cucumbers are a perfect accompaniment, and I can imagine that this would be a delicious and satisfying main dish.
This is very easy and tasty. Sometimes I like something with a European vibe.
Thanks for your visit and nice feedback.
Thank you so much!!!!
It looks very delicious and nice I like your ideas of making food with different ingredients.
I would like to try this. Thank you for good tutorial and photos of course your noodles yam yam. :)
It is very easy and simple. You could make this your own style.
Thank you for your feedback and support my friend.😊💚
you have good money tools friend @carolynstahl
I buy mostly used ones and very few new ones. I wish I could have many other things haha. Thanks for the visit my friend.
Very interesting my friend @carolynstahl spiral vegetable, it is the first time I have heard and seen it, how great your creativity is immense. As always I wish you success. My friend, today I made a black coffee, called loaded or Guayoyo, very popular in Venezuela, with sugar to taste, I hope you like it.
Your cooking always makes me tempted ☺️ from the appearance of this food alone I really want to try it ☺️ thank you very much for sharing @carolynstahl
Aww that is so kind of you to say. I really feel the same about your cooking too.😊
