...because most of us don't have all day to spend in the kitchen!
Are you one of those people who thinks making homemade potato knishes from scratch is difficult?
I used to think so. Then I made them. And I realized it’s a lot easier than I imagined.
I guest posted the recipe and some instructional photos on The Spiffy Cookie. Check it out here.
Enjoy!

Thanks for the great guest post! You make them look so easy to create.
I visited The Spiffy Cookie. Your knishes look wonderful and sound delicious. I’ve never had one but you do make them look easy to do so one day and I may just make some of my own. Probably before I ever get a chance to visit New York and try one
Thanks. I tried these, and gata say they are probably the best potato knishes I ever had!!
I made these tonight (16 more minutes in the oven…) and have a pretty significant amount of filling leftover. Any suggestions on ways to use it up?
Hi Tali,
I can’t wait to hear how you like them! I’m surprised you had extra filling- the original recipe called for 8 potatoes and I wound up making an extra batch of dough because I had so much extra filling so I scaled it down.
You can try adding some extra egg and flour to make “doughless” knishes. Bake it either in balls or in a loaf pan.
Let me know how it comes out!
Well. The good news is that we loved the knishes, and I put a nice bunch in the freezer for another time. (I cut a 1/4 stick of butter, by the way, and they were none the worse for it.)
The bad news is that I tried making latkes out of the leftover filling (didn’t add anything) and they really didn’t work. I still have a bit of filling left, so I’ll try your suggestion before the end of the week.
I’m glad you liked them Tali!
Sorry about the filling. Let me know what happens if you bake it.
omg! I haven’t had a good Potato knishe since I left south Florida 13 years ago, can’t wait to try!!!!! Thank you!
OMG!!!! These taste wayyyyy better then any store bought knishes I ever made!!! Making batch #2 now
