C

ooking meals for family
gatherings can be daunt-
ing, especially if relatives
have different dietary re-
strictions. Though potato kugel
is often considered a simchah
staple, cooks might need to
modify the recipe to suit peo-
ple's specific nutritional needs.
To prepare potato kugel for
individuals with high blood
pressure, cooks should elimi-
nate salt from the recipe. Spice
up the dish with extra pepper,
raisins, or toppings of paprika
and cinnamon.
Potatoes are a natural source
of potassium. Therefore, those
who follow low-potassium diets
should eat potato kugel in mod-
eration. Luckily, diabetics need
not worry. The recipe below
contains no simple sugar, which
is one of the foods diabetics need
to avoid.
The fat content of potato
kugel is a different story. The
dish is 45 percent fat, but it can
be concocted in healthier ways.
For instance, use egg substi-

tutes to cut down on the cho-
lesterol content. Instead of but-
ter, use margarine, which is an
unsaturated fat. Unsaturated
fats do not boost cholesterol lev-
els as much as saturated fats,
found in animal products.
To further reduce the
amount of fat in the recipe, use
one-half to three-quarters of a
stick of margarine or butter (in-
stead of the whole stick, cited
below).
Potato kugel is not terribly
high in fiber, which is better ob-
tained through eating dried
fruit, bran cereals and fresh
fruits and vegetables.
Nutritionally speaking, pota-
to kugel is a good source of com-
plex carbohydrates, which are
part of a balanced diet. If cooks
monitor their use of fat, the dish
can become, not only a simchah
staple — but a healthy
component of our holiday
meals. 0
