Title: Rebecca’s Mini Knish Recipe – Jewish Food Hero
Ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup vegetable oil
– 1/2 cup water
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 large onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 cups mashed potatoes
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Slowly pour in the vegetable oil and water, mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough for a few minutes until smooth. Cover the bowl with a damp towel and let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
2. While the dough is resting, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until they are soft and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the mashed potatoes, paprika, sautéed onion and garlic mixture, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
4. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
5. Roll out the rested dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut out circles from the dough.
6. Place a spoonful of the potato filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape, pressing the edges together to seal. Place the mini knishes on the prepared baking sheet.
7. Brush the tops of the mini knishes with the beaten egg wash to give them a beautiful golden brown color when baked.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the mini knishes are crisp and golden.
9. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These Mini Knishes can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature, perfect for any occasion.
