Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
Dough:
2 cups All-purpose flour
2 Eggs -- beaten
1/4 cup Oil
1/4 cup Water
Pinch salt
Filling:
6 Russet potatoes
2 Onions -- coarsly chopped
Salt and pepper
Fry onions slowly in lots of oil until light brown. Put onions in
strainer over bowl to drain, and save oil. Boil potatoes and mash
(without butter or milk). Add drained onion, lots of pepper and salt.
Should taste spicy. This can be done the day before.
For dough, put flour in bowl and make well. Add other ingredients, mix
and knead a bit. Cover with turned over bowl and let dough rest 1 hour.
Roll 1/3 of dough at a time into rectangle about twice as long as wide,
and as thin as possible. You can even stretch this dough if you practice.
Don't worry about tears, they are easily fixed. Brush dough with oil
saved from onions. Put 1/3 of potato filling like a sausage along the
long side. Roll up like jelly roll and put in baking sheet which has been
coated with the rest of the onion oil. Turn roll over in pan to coat with
oil. Make little score marks in dough so you can cut easily later. Bake
at about 375 degrees until pretty brown. (A long time, really, 30-45
minutes usually) You can make ahead by baking till light brown, cool,
wrap in foil and freeze. Then put in 375 deg. oven till very hot and
brown. My family LOVES these.
Knishes are much easier than they sound. The secret is to use enough
pepper, and to serve them HOT.
