INSTRUCTIONS
*Note: or other baking potato
1. Saute the onion in the olive oil until wilted and golden.
2. Mix the onion, cottage cheese, egg mixture, pepper and potatoes in a
bowl. Beat well by hand or with a hand mixer.
3. Coat 1 phyllo sheet with olive oil cooking spray. (Keep the rest of the
phyllo dough covered.) Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of bread crumbs and cut
into 4- inch squares. (A pizza cutter does a good job.)
4. Place a scant tablespoon of filling in the center of each square.
5. Fold the top and bottom of the phyllo over the filling. Turn over and
fold the 2 sides towards the center.. There will be several thicknesses of
dough on both the top and bottom of the knish. Place the second folded side
down on a nonstick baking sheet coated with olive oil spray.
6. Repeat as above until all the mixture has been used.
7. Prick each knish once with a fork; coat lightly with olive oil spray.
8. Bake in a preheated 325 degrees F oven for about 30 minutes or until
golden brown.
Variation:
Kasha Knishes: saute 1/2 cup minced onion in 1 tablespoon of olive oil
until wilted and lightly browned. Combine the onion with 2 cups of cooked
kasha, add salt and pepper to taste, and proceed as in step 3, omitting the
bread crumbs.
Ms. Roth states these knishes are easy to make and freeze well.
