Freida- it should, but I can’t say for sure as I haven’t tried it. Try using a bit less oil than the amount of margarine it calls for.

Hi Miriam.

I really try to make my recipes as healthy as possible….. do you think it would work if I substituted oil instead of margarine in the potato knish recipe??

Thank you for the recipe. I made these for dinner tonight for my husband and boys. They turned out to be more work than I had anticipated, but they were enjoyed. I ended up with a lot of filling leftover, probably because I went overboard on the potatoes. The recipe calls for five large Idaho potatoes, and I was thinking of those enormous baking potatoes, so I used too many smaller ones. I am on a strict diet right now, so I chose not to partake, but I did freeze some of them for the near future.

Saw the link over at Overtime Cook, I can’t wait to try and make these! I lived in south Florida for 10 years and these were always a favorite but now living in rural Georgia, I can’t even find a good bagel!

Hi Learning Girl,

I’ve never made Kasha filling, so I can’t give you a recipe for it. If you’re looking for healthier, try making a vegetable filling-add a small amount of mashed potatoes for texture.

I’m glad you like the recipe- please let me know how it comes out!

I must try these! I got into Smackin’ Good frozen knishes when desperate on vacation once, but they were so loaded with calories and sodium it was unbelievable. I like homemade versions of fast food so I can actually control what goes in.

For a healthier version, I want to try a kasha filling. I’ve liked kasha knishes from the knish store… Miriam, any idea how I should prepare the kasha? Also sweet potato, which I’d prepare the same as the regular potato, maybe even mix the two for a lighter flavor. Mmmm.

Thanks everyone! I’m so glad you all like the recipe- and a little surprised at how uncommon they seem to be out of New York! Makes me wonder what kind of awesome regional food I’m missing from other parts of the country!

I’ve never eaten a knish, of any kind. You make them look easy to make and even easier to eat. Must try these sometime.
