- Peel and finely shred potatoes. Sqeeze out as much liquid as possible from the potatoes and transfer them to a large bowl as you go. Add the salt, potato starch, black pepper and stir well. Stir in the whole eggs, egg yolks, olive oil, and boiling water, then stir in the majority of sauteed onions and broccoli (set aside about a cup of the sauteed mixture).

- Transfer the potato kugels to the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Lower the temperature to 350° and bake the kugels for another 40-50 minutes, until deep golden brown and crisp on the sides.
- Let the potato kugels stand for 20 minutes before cutting into squares and serving. Enjoy!
