Yonah Schimmel's Knish

"This has been a staple of the Lower East Side of Manhattan since 1910. I'm amazed how the Knish is one of those New York Foods, that never really made its name outside of the city proper. It’s a soft, pillowy piece of dough, filled to the brim with seasoned mashed potatoes. Each piece is traditionally rolled into a round ball and baked. It's a long time comfort food in the Ashkenazi Jewish community, which had a huge presence at the turn of the 20th century in the Lower East Side. I love Yonah Schimmel's, i'm not sure you can find a better Knish in New York. They have many flavors, but i'd always recommend a classic potato. A steal and heartier than you'd expect for $4.25. "
