For the Dough:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup warm water
- Flour, for dusting
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
For the Filling:
- 2 cups mashed potatoes

- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

Potato Corned Beef Knishes-Instructions:
- Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Gradually mix in vegetable oil and warm water until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface until smooth. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes, covered with a clean kitchen towel.
- In a separate bowl, mix together mashed potatoes, chopped corned beef, onion, minced garlic, parsley, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper for the filling. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Preheat the oven to 3750F (1900C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll out each portion into a circle about 6 inches in diameter on a floured surface.
- Spoon a portion of the potato and corned beef filling onto one half of each dough circle, leaving a small border. Fold the other half of the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape. Press the edges firmly to seal and crimp with a fork.
- Transfer the knishes to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with beaten egg for a shiny finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Let the knishes cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm as a snack or part of a meal, accompanied by mustard or your favorite dipping sauce.
