"K" Knishes
from my new Lowfat Vegetarian cookbook I got for Xmas!
Herbed Potato Knishes
1 1/2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, minced ( about 2 cups)
2 cloves of garlic, minced
2 egg whites lightly beaten
3-4 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs
including basil, chives,tarragon,oregano and or thyme.
1 Tablespoon Hungarian paprika
2 1/2 pounds baking potatoes (3-4 potatoes),peeled & cut into 1/2-inch dice.
salt & freshly ground black pepper
3-4 Tablespoons flour, plus 1 cup for dredging.
Spray oil.
1.Preheat oven to 350
2.Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick frying pan.
Add the onion and cook over medium-low heat heat until nicely caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Add the garlic after 5 minutes. Set the onion mixture aside to cool. Stir in egg whites, herbs and paprika.
3. Place the potatoes in a large pot /w cold water to cover.
Bring to boil, reduce the heat, and simmer the potatoes for 8-10 minutes or until tender.( for extra flavor, you could cook the potatoes in vegetable stock). Drain the potatoes & return to pan. Cook the potatoes over medium heat to evaporate any excess moisture for 1-2 minutes.
Remove the pot from heat and let cool slightly.
4. mash potaotes in pot, stir in onion mixture, stir in 3-4 tablespoons of flour.
5.Wet your hands and form the potato mixture into patties 1 inch thick and 3
inches across.
Place the remaining flour in a bowl.
Lightly dredge each knish in flour, shaking off excess. Arrange the knishes on a
nonstick baking street lightly sprayed w/ oil. The knishes can be prepared ahead to this stage, covered with plastic, and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
6. bake the knishes for 30-40 minutes, or until lightly browned and hot in the center ( an inserted skewer will come out hot to touch).If the knishes are slow browning, you can run them under the broiler for a few minutes.
Makes 8 knishes

D'sGirl your recipe sounds. You could put that one in the Lowfat Vegetarian cookbook I received as a gift for Xmas, maybe to make it low fatter use currants or raisins instead of nuts, and sugar free jello & diet Ginger Ale.
