Description
Delicious pastries encasing a creamy, seasoned potato filling within a tender, flaky dough, perfect for breakfast or snacks.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup water
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

- Boil cubed potatoes until tender, drain and mash. Sauté chopped onion in vegetable oil until golden brown, then mix with mashed potatoes and season.
- Roll out the rested dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick and cut into circles (4 inches in diameter).
- Place a spoonful of potato filling in the center of each circle, fold the dough over and pinch to seal.
- Brush each knish with the beaten egg.
- Arrange the knishes on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
