These are almost offensively non-traditional, but I’m proud, all the same.
Since returning from vacation, I’ve been feasting on a few magnificent, toasted bagels, all the while, being briefly haunted by another traditional food from my New York heritage – knishes. I have really fond memories of my very Italian family visiting Jewish delicatessens, and slurping bowls of chicken noodle soup after an obligatory knish. Throw a pickle in for good measure. Please.
I spent a lazy Saturday afternoon making these knishes. They’re made with love, and filled with boiled, mashed potatoes, mixed with olive oil, a ton of sauteed garlic and shallots, various greens, salt and freshly ground pepper. The jellyroll style knishes (I was having fun with this) have added roasted garlic, nutritional yeast and a bit of miso in the filling. All are brushed with a mixture of soy milk and olive oil. I overbaked them a bit, cause that’s what I do.
Knishes
The dough recipe is from Vegan with a Vengeance, of course. The knish recipe from that book is one of the first couple things I ever made from it! I simply didn’t have the patience to roast my potatoes this time, and was winging the filling.

And hey, bagel talk, coming soon. Straight from my bagel shaped heart.
holy crap Jess! your knishes look awesome!
I’m drooling all over myself due to the fact that those look so ridiculously delicious, just so you know.
Oh man, they look REALLY good!
Your knishes look fabulous, and I bet they’re as good as they look!
Knishes are far from being part of my food heritage as I’ve never had them, but seeing yours I just know I have been missing out, and I need to remedy that soon!
Oh, your knishes look sooooo knice!! Ahh… I forgot how much I missed these!
Whoooaa, those look great! I’m impressed.
Those are exactly the kind of thing I love to eat! They look positively addicting, such gorgeous flavors.
Those knishes look absolutely fantastic!
I’ve never had a knish, and I’ve always wanted to try the recipe from VwaV. I should really get around to that. Potatoes + dough = Love.
Those concoctions look absolutely scrumptious! Although I’d call them quiches, since the knishes I’m familiar with here in Brooklyn are of the closed-top and hot-dog stand varieties.
I ran out of dough and couldn’t close them – I was going for that style – I would say they’re more dumpling, if anything : )
Though between us, the hot-dog stand variety was my favorite, growing up!
This makes me want to go out and try one. I’ve never had one before, only have heard of them. Yours looks so tasty!
ahhh!that’s bagels on the square,isn’t it?
like 2.5 seconds from me!
waaaah.
