- 1 whole Yellow Onion sliced in VERY thin rings and Caramelized
(How you do this: Put two tbsp's of Olive Oil in a saucepan and heat up to medium. Toss in the onions and a little but of sugar (brown or regular) and simmer and stir for 35-40 minutes until the onions are completely brown and taste super sweet.)
- 4 cups Mashed Potatoes
(I like to make mine with a shitload of garlic and red potatoes with the skins left on)
- 1 Egg
- Handfull of fresh finely Chopped Parsley
- Salt/Pepper
- 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
- 1 cup Water
- 1 tbsp White Vinegar
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 3-4 cups Flour
- 1/2 cup egg wash (this is just a beaten egg)
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a mixing bowl combine the Onions, Potatoes, Egg, Parsley, Salt and Pepper and set aside.
- Let's make the dough now. In a seperate mixing bowl combine the Oil, Water, Vinegar, and Salt adding the flour one cup at a time.
- Knead the dough into a ball.
- Now shape this into 4 seperate balls, cover with a damp paper towel or washcloth and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Now sprinkle some flour on a very clean countertop and roll each ball out into a large rectangle. Cover the 4 of these with a sprinkle of flour and cover with a peice of parchment paper or paper towel and let rest for 15 minutes.
- Repeat the following steps for each rectangle of dough.
- Using your hands flatten out the dough super super SUPER fucking thin.
- Using the side of your hand divide the Potato mixture into 4 equal sections.
- Spread one quarter of the Potato mix onto each rectangle leaving a one inch border of dough.
- Roll the dough tightly like a jellyroll and every so often brush the top with Vegetable Oil.
- Divide the roll into 3 parts and cut using the side of your hand.
- Pinch the ends closed and brush the tops with the eggwash and bake in batches on a nonstick baking sheet for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
Now you can enjoy immedately but, I like to refrigerate them overnight in a tupperware. Then, whenever I'm ready to enjoy, I wrap a Knish in a damp paper towel and microwave for 1 minute. Best enjoyed with Dijon Mustard or your fave Hot Sauce. But do whatever you like!
You can also make this recipe with bacon bits and your favorite cheese. Go nuts! Whatever you like on your potatoes just add to the mix!
