My husband was just talking about potato knishes that he had from a place called Cohn's in Norther NJ. He said there was a kosher hot dog sticking out of a homemade potato knish. I'd love to be able to make it for him. Thanks for any suggestions.

I use a mix of chunky mashed potato, well fried onions, salt, pepper and a but of sour cream (all well blended) for the filling. I layer sheets of phyllo, brushing with melter butter, then put about 2 tablespoons of filling. I fold the phyllo square, so that the knishes are about 4"x4" and brush with metled butter. Bake at 350F until golden brown-35-50 minutes My wife has done these smaller, by folding the phyllo in half and only using one sheet per knish. This gives a great flaky knish. This week my wife is going to experiment by spraying Olivio instead of brushing with melted butter to cut down on the fat.

My grandmother's knishes always had a flakey crust ( similar to her strudel ) and the restaurant versions have never appealed to me for that reason. She also made rice knishes - the filling was a little like a dry rice pudding. She would saute them in butter ( although come to think of it, she probably used margarine) and we ate them with a dab of sour cream. I can't wait to experiment.

She made them sweet with golden raisins and farmer cheese mixed in, When they came out of the oven, she sprinkled them with powdered sugar. I don't miss the ex, just her knishes and blintzes.

Yonah Schimels is where we get knishes in NY. So that is exactly the kind that I'd liketo make. I'm so excited. Thank you again! Tue Sep 08 03:14:12 -0700 2009 5012391 22620 DaisyM
