Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 ½ cups (12 ½ oz/355 g) all-purpose flour
  • 3 large (about 19 oz/540 g) russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons (1 oz/28 g) butter
  • ½ cup (4 fl oz/120 ml) warm water
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ cup (2 fl oz/60 ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup (2 oz/57 g) Butter, softened
  • Egg wash

Notes

  • Caramelizing onions brings out their natural sweetness and depth of flavor, but it can take a long time.

    Turning up the heat will only burn the onions before they caramelize. Give yourself enough time with this recipe to properly cook the onions. They don’t take a lot of monitoring, though, so you can easily make the dough and steam the potatoes at the same time.

  • The thyme is not traditional but gives a nice flavor. You could also use chives or any dried spices of your choice that you like on potatoes.
  • Schmaltz (rendered chicken fat) can be used in place of the butter in the filling and the dough to make it dairy-free.
  • If you wish, sprinkle the knishes with sesame seeds or kosher salt before baking.
