Quicker Baked Potato

Try this method for speeding up the potato baking process (for a better texture than those that you microwave). Pre-heat the oven to 400. Place the potato in boiling water for 10 minutes. Bake for 30 minutes. This will cut the cooking time in half.

 

Frances' Famous Knishes


appetizers, side dishes, jewish

2 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoon shortening
1 large onion -- diced
2 lb potatoes -- peeled
3 tablespoon oil -- or chicken fat
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Cook potatoes in water. In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and shortenng, blending with your fingers. Add 2/3 cup watr from the cooking potatoes. Knead lightly. Dough should be soft, but firm enough to roll. Add a bit more flour, if necessary. Smooth into a ball and cover bowl. Brown onion in oil. Drain and mash potatoes and add onion. Add salt and pepper. Roll 1/3 of the dough into a thin rectangle, about 7"x14". Place a strip of potato mixture about 1 1/2" wide and high along the long edge. Roll like a jelly roll. Cut into 1 1/4" pieces. Take each piece and stretch the dough to cover the cut edges, unrolling slightly, if necessary. Knishes should be flat on the bottom and rounded on top. Don't worry if the dough tears of potato shows through. Repeat the process twice more with the remaining dough and potatoes. Place knishes on greased pans. Bake 30 minutes at 400F, or until slightly browned. If they are going to be frozen, bake only partially, and finish baking when ready to serve. Recipe By : Frances Lubkin From: Date:
