Lithuanian Potato Kugelis
Lithuanian Potato Kugelis bakes into a tender, golden casserole where finely grated potatoes meld with smoky bacon, sweet onion, and rich evaporated milk. The eggs give it a custardy interior while the top turns crisp at the edges, perfect with a cool spoonful of sour cream. Serve it warm for a comforting family dinner or at holiday gatherings.
