How to make Knish - technique and commentary with a shout out to Yonah Schimmel

cheese

🥗Healthier: cottage cheese

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Cottage cheese is lower in fat and calories while still providing creaminess.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is a healthier fat option, while margarine can be more cost-effective.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt provides similar creaminess with fewer calories.

flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

Peel and quarter 2.5 pounds of potatoes.

Bring the potatoes to a boil in a large pot of salted water.

In a skillet, sauté 4 chopped onions and 2 chopped shallots in vegetable oil until browned and salty.

Mash the boiled potatoes until smooth.

Mix the sautéed onions into the mashed potatoes.

Add chopped fresh parsley to the potato mixture.

Deglaze the skillet with about half a cup of vegetable stock, scraping up the browned bits.

Combine the deglazed onion mixture with the mashed potatoes.

Taste the filling to adjust saltiness if needed.
