Potato Knishes - Three Dough Recipes plus Potato Onion Filling

My grandmother made her own delicate potato knishes with a lightweight dough and a melt-in-your-mouth potato onion filling. Most Canadian recipes for knishes are prepared with dough recipes that originated in Eastern Europe, honed and perfected over many years. The commerical heavyweight version of this traditional Jewish recipe is not in the same league as the more delicate, flavorful homemade item. The recipes on this page are like 'Bubbie used to make'.

Can anyone actually make great knishes without being an expert? Absolutely - the use of a food processor makes things easy. Follow the instructions and photographic guides in each of the three recipes below and you will be rewarded for your efforts! The recipe for Potato Onion Filling can be found in the third recipe (second link) below. Of course, recipes can be doubled and freeze well.

First of all, the link to two fabulous knish dough recipes:

• Flaky Pastry Dough (ginger ale pastry - puff pastry style)
• Warm Water Knish Dough (soft, malleable)
