Sauerkraut Knishes
Ready In: 1 hr 25 mins
Serves: 8
Yields: 8 knishes
Ingredients
- 2 lbs potatoes (I used Yukon gold, peeled and chopped)
- 2 cups water
- 1 1⁄2 cups sauerkraut
- 1⁄4 teaspoon caraway seed
- 1⁄8 cup water
- 1⁄2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1⁄2 cups unbleached white flour
- 1 1⁄4 teaspoons baking powder
Directions
- Cook the potatoes in 2 cups of boiling water in a covered pot for 20 minutes. Drain.
- Heat the sauerkraut and caraway seeds in 1/8 cup of water in a small pot over medium heat for 5 minutes.
- Mash cooked potatoes and divide mixture into thirds. Stir 1/3 of the mashed potatoes with sauerkraut mixture. Mix remaining mashed potatoes with turmeric, salt, flour and baking powder to create a dough.
- Knead the dough for a few minutes. Then roll dough out onto a floured surface until 1/4 inch thick.
- Cut the dough into 4"x4" squares (about 8). Place 1/8 of the filling on each square. Fold corners of the dough in and pinch dough tight in the center.
- Preheat your oven to 375'F. Place knishes pinched side down on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Bake for 45 minutes. Serve warm.
- Bon Appetit!.
