my 8th catering gig

today was my final catering gig for the project management class at mesalands. i knew i wanted to make orange cornmeal cake and garlic potato kugel but i had no idea what meat to make. i ended up making a version of chicken parmesan. i cut the chicken into strips, sauteed it in garlic butter, threw it in a casserole dish, topped it with garlic tomato sauce, italian cheese mix and then breadcrumbs. it was really good i wish i had leftovers!

potato kugel

serves 4

Ingredients:

1 large onion, minced (i used garlic instead of onion)

2 tablespoons butter or oil

2 large eggs, beaten

2 cups raw potatoes, grated and measured after draining

1/2 cup all purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 1/2 teaspoon salt

pepper to taste

Directions:

Saute onions in butter or oil until lightly browned. Add eggs to potatoes. Sift the dry ingredients and add to the potato mixture. Stir in the onions and the fat used to cook them. Pour into a well greased 1 quart baking dish and bake in a preheated 350F oven until the edges are crisp. About 1 hour.

Note: Use either russet or Yukon Gold potatoes and keep in cold water until ready to use. Drain well. The potatoes can either be grated by hand or in a food processor.
