-Mashed potatoes and mustard--which for you non-New Yorkers is basically like a skinless knish.

Please to explain what the hell a knish is, other than a character in some movie where they play some card game a lot. ty

A knish is a fried, pocket sandwich filled with spiced, smashed potatoes. Traditionally, they are square (about 3"x3"x1"), with a cornbread skin, and are sold by hot dog venders on the streets of NYC.

I make mine at home from leftover mashed potatoes, inside of a rolled up 8"x11" pizza dough skin; after it is cooked I cut it up into 1"-2" slices. Consequently, mine has more of the shape and taste of a potatoe calzone.
