Easy Cooking Recipes: How to make traditional knish quick and easy

I have to admit that I had never heard of a Knish until one of my transplanted Yankee friends (term is used affectionately of course!) mentioned her yearning for a Knish. I began to research and experiment with the whole concept. It is actually potatoes and onions in a bun. Most people dip them in mustard to eat. I understand in New York City, you can actually get them on the street like a hot dog.

Humble history of the knish

They were brought to New York by Jewish immigrants. I can just imagine a little Jewish mother inventing these to use leftover mashed potatoes. Most really good cultural food seems to have come from very common roots, born of pure necessity.

Quick and easy recipe for knish also born of necessity

Well, here is a quick version of a traditional tasting knish recipe. In addition, this Knish recipe has the touch of a modern mom with little time or money! In my quest for how to make Knish, I tried other versions, but my family likes the easiest one best. So, why bother peeling potatoes? If you want to use real potatoes, you can certainly mash your own. You could microwave them, then peel them.

Recipe for quick and easy traditional knish

Ingredients:

Bisquick Baking Mix: 3 cups
1/2 cup iced water plus 1 or two extra tablespoons, if needed.
Betty Crocker Instant Mashed Potatoes, Garlic Flavored: one pouch in box, and part of another
(You could use regular flavor and add garlic powder or minced garlic.) You also need whatever ingredients your box says, such as: milk, butter, or whatever.
Minced dried onions: 1/4 cup
One egg diluted with 1 tablespoon of water
Oil: 2 tablespoons

Instructions:

1. Make the dough
Mix Bisquick, oil, and ice water. I use a bread machine set on dough. You could do it by hand or use a food processor.

2. Make the filling
Prepare your mashed potatoes, adding the onions to the boiling water. Use the package directions, but add more potatoes than it calls for, a little at a time. Make them stiffer than normal.

3. Press Dough flat
Use your hands to press dough circles flat. Place a spoonful of potatoes in the center. Pull the sides up to form a dumpling, pinching them together.

4. Place in pan and add egg wash.

Place them on a greased cookie sheet. Liberally apply the egg wash.

5. Bake in a preheated oven at 425 degrees for around 10 minutes. You should check them frequently for burning.
