Ingredients:
-----------------------------------------------------
cup mashed potatoes
1 Tbsp. oil
1 tsp. salt
3 cups unbleached white flour

1/2 cup cold water

To make the filling, sautè the onions in 2 Tbsp. oil until transparent. Mix together with the rest of the filling ingredients. Cut the dough into 4 sections, then roll each section as thin as possible (about 1/16-inch thick). Cut into 5 x 6-inch rectangles. Place 2 or 3 Tbsp. of the filling in the middle of each rectangle. Fold the sides in first, then the ends. Place folded side down on an oiled cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes, or until golden. Serve with horseradish or mustard.

Oooh, I haven't had any knishes since I was nine years old. I will need to make this as soon as I acquire a potato.
