Cook Mode (Keep screen awake) NEW: You can now switch to Cook Mode to keep your screen awake.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish with nonstick spray.
Melt the schmaltz (or heat the oil) in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, thyme, and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Discard the thyme sprigs and transfer the onions to a large bowl; add the potatoes and chives. Gently stir the mixture together.
Whisk the eggs and salt in a medium bowl. Pour evenly over the potato mixture and fold in to combine. Spread and press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Bake until the kugel is set and the sides turn a deep golden brown, visible through the glass baking dish, 40 to 50 minutes. Let cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving, then sprinkle each portion with additional chives.
