A knish is like a pile of mashed potatoes baked into a flaky biscuit. This one is from the famous Yonah Schimmel Knish Bakery in the Lower East Side.

Ok, so yes, I ate the musthroom knish at Yonah Schimmel Knish Bakery. Something wrong? I just looked up reviews of Yonah Schimmel and I’m shocked to read that these knishes are supposed to suck! Wait WHAT? Ok, I think someone needs to make me an authentic knish before I can go any further. Now I am sad. The knish was tasty, but it really just tasted like mashed potatoes in a soft outer breading. Who knew it was supposed to be CRISPY? Ok, more on this later.
