Knish

Directions

• 1. For pastry, in a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in sour cream and enough water to form a dough. Shape into a disk; mixture will be crumbly. Wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
• 2. Place potatoes in a large saucepan; add water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook, uncovered, until tender, 8-10 minutes.
• 3. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add onions; cook and stir until tender, 8-10 minutes.
• 4. Drain potatoes; return to pan and stir over low heat 1 minute to dry. Mash potatoes; stir in onion mixture, salt and pepper. Set aside to cool. Lightly beat 1 egg; stir into potato mixture.
• 5. Preheat oven to 400°. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into three 10x12-in. rectangles. Cut each into 16 squares. Spoon 1 tablespoon potato filling in the middle of each square. Brush the edges with water. Fold each corner toward the center, meeting in the middle. Arrange, seam side down, on ungreased baking sheets. Lightly beat remaining egg; brush over knish. Bake until lightly browned, 15-20 minutes. If desired, serve with sour cream.
