Ingredients
16-20 medium-sized potatoes, peeled (work on about 2 per person with a few extra “for the pot”)
1 large onion peeled and sliced
3 tablespoons onion soup powder (if you can’t get KFP onion soup powder, add an extra tablespoon of chicken soup powder and add an extra onion)
2 tablespoons chicken soup powder
1 bottle of Coke (yes, I know…not an original shtetl recipe…)
2 teaspoons ginger powder
Salt and pepper
About 15 dried, pitted prunes (more if you want)
3 tablespoons honey, silan (date honey) or sugar
How to do it
1. Pre-heat the oven to 100°C (210°F)
2. In a large oven proof pot, fry the onions until soft. Add all the rest of the ingredients, making sure the liquid covers the potatoes. If not, top it up with water. Cover, bring to the boil and reduce the heat, letting the potatoes simmer for about 30 minutes. While the mixture is simmering, take strips of foil and line the rim of the lid to create a strong seal on the pot. Return the lid to the pot, making sure it’s properly closed.
3. Place the pot in the oven, and leave it overnight (at least 12 hours).
Slow cooker option: If you want to cook these in a slow cooker, fry the onions in a pan, and then add them with all of the other ingredients to your slow cooker, and cook on low for 8-10 hours.
Serves about 8. Prepare to overeat!!
