Soft, buttery dough wrapped around a creamy, cheesy potato filling with caramelized onions? Yeah, that’s a knish, and yeah, you need one immediately. These little pockets of joy are a deli classic, now 100% vegan and ready to rock your snack time. Best eaten warm, with mustard… while reaching for another.

Ingredients
Knish Dough:
- ⅓ aquafaba
- ½ cup vegan butter room temperature
- ½ cup unsweetened plant-based milk
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 1 ¼ teaspoons baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ⅛ teaspoon Turmeric
Potato and onion filling:
- 2 lbs. Yukon gold potatoes peeled and quartered
- ½ cup vegan sour cream
- 1 cup Vegan Cheddar Cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons vegan butter
- 3 cups yellow onion diced 1 cm.
Vegan Eggwash:
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- ⅓ cup unsweetened plant-based milk
- 1 tablespoon agave nectar
Instructions
- Either in a medium bowl with a hand mixer, or in a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, whip the aquafaba in a small bowl for 3 minutes until foamy.
- Add the vegan butter, plant-based milk, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and turmeric. Mix in the stand mixer with a dough hook, or by hand on a clean work surface for 4-5 minutes until a smooth dough forms. Cover the bowl containing the dough with a plate and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
- Mash the potatoes until smooth, then mix in the vegan sour cream, vegan cheddar, salt, and black pepper.
- In a skillet, melt the vegan butter over medium-high heat. Add the diced onions and cook, stirring frequently, for 9-10 minutes until golden brown and soft. Add the caramelized onions to the mashed potato mixture and stir until fully combined. Let the filling cool to room temperature.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, divide the dough and roll it out into two rectangles approximately 20x6 inches (50X15 cm).
- Place a strip of filling, roughly 2 inches (5 cm) wide, along the long edge of both of the dough sheets. Roll the dough over the filling, tucking it snugly to form a log. Trim any excess dough and repeat with the remaining filling and dough.
- Cut the log into 2-inch (5 cm) sections. Pinch and twist the open ends of each piece to seal, then place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each piece slightly with your hand.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and firm.
- Mix together egg wash ingredients in a small bowl and brush about half of it on the hot knishes. Return them to the oven for an additional 6-7 minutes until deeply golden-brown.
- Brush with the remaining egg wash and transfer the knishes to a wire rack. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes
- 🛑 Dough Not Disturb:
- Allow the dough to rest for at least an hour to relax the gluten, making it easier to roll thinly without tearing.

- 🔒 A Pinch in Time:
- Seal the edges tightly to keep the filling contained and maintain the knish’s shape while baking.
