🥔Flaky New York-Style Vegan Knish

Total Time: 1 hr 15 min | Prep: 30 min | Cook: 45 min | Serves: 8

You ever just want that street cart flavor without having to trek through the city? That’s the knish vibe — cozy, carb-y, and absolutely perfect with a little mustard and hot tea. These flaky, golden beauties are stuffed with a creamy mashed potato and caramelized onion filling that’ll have everyone reaching for seconds (or thirds 👀).

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Make the Dough:
    In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in oil, vinegar, and warm water until a soft dough forms. Knead lightly for 1–2 minutes, cover with a towel, and let it rest for 30 minutes.

  2. Prepare the Filling:
    Boil potatoes in salted water until tender (about 10–12 minutes). Drain and mash.
    In a skillet, sauté onions in olive oil until golden and caramelized — about 10–12 minutes. Mix onions into the mashed potatoes. Season with salt, pepper, and optional spices.

  3. Assemble:
    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
    Roll dough on a lightly floured surface into a long rectangle (about ¼-inch thick). Spread filling evenly down the middle. Fold the dough over the filling and seal the edge. Roll seam-side down.

  4. Shape & Bake:
    Cut into 3–4 inch pieces, tucking the ends under. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush tops with plant milk or oil.
    Bake for 35–40 minutes, until golden brown.

  5. Cool & Serve:
    Let cool slightly before biting in (trust me — lava potato filling is no joke!). Serve warm with spicy mustard or a little vegan sour cream.

🧠 Mom Tips

🥟 Wanna get fancy? Mix in sautéed spinach or mushrooms for a gourmet twist.
🧅 Make the filling ahead of time and chill it — it’s easier to handle when cool.
❄️ These freeze like a dream! Reheat in the oven for that fresh-baked crisp.

🥣 Why I Love It

This recipe gives me serious NYC nostalgia — a bite of that classic street food comfort, but totally plant-based and family-approved. Perfect for a chill weekend brunch or a snack after the kids’ homework hustle 💛
