I grew up eating these potato knishes every holiday. My grandmother had to show up with at least four dozen because they were devoured within minutes! I haven't changed her recipe other than to use ready-made pie crusts. You can use cooked ground beef or lamb as well. -Ellie Brandon, Tucson, Arizona

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 package (24 ounces) refrigerated mashed potatoes
2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 sheets refrigerated pie crust
Spicy brown mustard

Steps:

Remove from the heat. Stir in salt and pepper. Stir onion mixture into potatoes. Cool slightly., Meanwhile, on a work surface, unroll crusts. Roll each to a 12x10-in. rectangle.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best results. Fresh potatoes, butter, and cream cheese will make a big difference in the taste of your knishes.
  • Be sure to drain the potatoes thoroughly after boiling them. This will help to prevent the knishes from becoming soggy.
  • If you don't have a potato ricer, you can mash the potatoes with a fork or potato masher.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If the dough is too dry, add a little more butter or cream cheese.
  • Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands.
  • When rolling out the dough, be sure to use a lightly floured surface. This will help to prevent the dough from sticking.
  • To make sure the knishes are cooked through, fry them until they are golden brown on all sides.
