Hanukkah is just around the corner. To celebrate the Jewish heritage of my late grandmother, I will be uploading veganized versions of Hanukkah-inspired recipes each week for the next 4 weeks. Below, you find a recipe for vegan sweet potato and red onion knish. Knish is a traditional Jewish Ashkenazi comfort food. Specifically, it is a flakey dough concoction filled with either a savory or sweet filling that is baked or deep-fried. The dough is easy to make and very user-friendly as it contains oil and not butter. My recipe was inspired by a YouTube video that I recently found in which the late Ethel Bailkin makes traditional potato and onion knish. Knish can be filled with various fillings, including cream cheese and blueberry compote or an apple-strudel mixture.
