Ingredients
10 Servings
- 480 g all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 30 g butter
- 1 egg
- 2 onions
- 0.5 tsp pepper
- 900 g potatoes
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp salt
- 60 ml vegetable oil
- 240 ml water
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the vegetable oil and water, and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes, then cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Step 2
While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash the potatoes.
Step 3
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the onions until golden brown. Add the sautéed onions to the mashed potatoes, and season with salt and pepper. Mix well.
Step 4
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 5
Divide the dough into 10 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten and roll out into a circle about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 6
Place a generous spoonful of potato filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching to seal.
Step 7
Place the knishes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the beaten egg.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm.
