Potato Knishes 2 Ways

Who doesn’t love a warm and savory knish? I certainly do and I hope you will enjoy my version which uses readymade puff pastry (you know I love this stuff) as a major timesaver. The authentic flavors we love are still there thanks to the caramelized onions, but I’ve added my own touches with Everything Bagel Seasoning (another love of mine) and a touch of flaky sea salt on the sweet potato knishes. Baking these potato knishes in a roll of golden puff pastry also makes it easy to slice and serve. Of course my secret ingredient is pulverized mushrooms which give the white potatoes a most unusual but absolutely delicious flavor. The link to watch the video is below the recipe info.
Ingredients:
• 2-3 cups prepared mashed potatoes
• 2-3 cups prepared mashed sweet potatoes
• 2-3 medium yellow onions
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 3-4 tablespoons melted butter
• 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
• 1 tablespoon pulverized mushrooms (omit if you don’t have this)
• Everything Bagel Seasoning to taste
• Flaky sea salt to taste
• Beaten egg for egg wash
Directions:
1. Set oven to 425F
2. Sauté onions until caramelized
3. Place potatoes in a separate mixing bowls
4. Divide onions between potatoes and combine. Keep some texture to the mashed potatoes.
5. Add salt and pepper to taste as well as any other seasoning you like.
6. Add the melted butter to white potatoes (or to both if you wish).
7. Add pulverized mushrooms to white potatoes (or to both if you wish).
8. Combine all ingredients in their separate bowls.
9. For each knish: place thawed puff pastry on a sheet of parchment paper and then place on a sheet pan
a. Place a generous amount of potato mixture in the middle portion of the pastry but leave a bit of room at the top and bottom edges.
b. Roll each long side over to form a log. Turn over so the pastry seam is on the bottom and seal the edges of the pastry using a fork or your fingers.
c. Cover the top of each pastry with egg wash.
d. Sprinkle Everything Bagel Seasoning over the white potato knish and flaky sea salt over sweet potato knish.
e. Bake till golden - approx. 20 minutes. Each oven is different so be sure to check.
10. Once done, allow to cool slightly and slice to serve. Tastes equally good hot, warm, or room temperature.
