POTATO KNISHES

6 tablespoons shortening 2 onions, chopped 4 cups mashed potatoes 3 eggs 3/4 cup sifted flour 1 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon white pepper 2 tablespoons grated onion

Melt 4 tablespoons of the shortening in a skillet. Add the chopped onions. Saute for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove the onions and cool. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Melt the remaining shortening in the skillet. Mix together the potatoes, eggs, flour, salt, pepper, grated onion and melted shortening. Knead until smooth. Break off pieces and shape into 2-inch balls. Make a depression in the center of each, and fill with a teaspoonful of the sauteed onions. Cover the filling with the dough. Flatten the balls slightly with the palm. Place on a greased baking sheet. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 25 minutes, or until browned. Chopped liver may be substituted for the onions, if desired.

5.0 out of 5 stars Traditional Jewish recipes, May 14, 2000

By

This review is from: Molly Goldberg Jewish Cookbook (Paperback)

I've been using this book for almost forty years. It includes many traditional Eastern European traditional recipes that are time tested and easy to follow. When I got married, this became my wife's number one cookbook. It is now falling apart and I am ordering another one. These are the recipes that I remember from my childhood. Additionally the recipes can be followed by one who is not a cook.

5.0 out of 5 stars MOLLY GOLDBERG'S COOKBOOK, October 3, 2000

By 

Sondra L. Glucksman (Forest Hills, NY USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Molly Goldberg Jewish Cookbook (Paperback)

In my library of over 100 cookbooks, many of them Jewish in content, this is the one I consult first before looking at any others. The recipes are truly wonderful, easy to follow and typical of the Jewish cookery I was brought up on. I have given copies of the book to my children and friends interested in the "real thing" and they all agree with me. The blintzes are outstanding and never let me down. It's the 1 book I couldn't be without to try "new old recipes".

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best of its Kind, May 17, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Molly Goldberg Jewish Cookbook (Paperback)

This is the best, easiest-to-follow traditional Jewish recipe book I know of. I've have a paperback from the 1960's that I've held together with rubber bands, since it was out of print and unreplacable. I'm glad to see it's been reprinted. Whenever I've made anything from this book, my kitchen smells the way my grandmother's--and my husband's grandmother's--once did. I love this book and I'm giving it to friends and relatives, who I know will appreciate it.
