The Coney Knish is a modern twist on the classic New York street food, combining the flavors of a hot dog and a knish into one delicious snack. It is believed to have originated in the early 1900s in Coney Island, where it quickly became a popular snack among beachgoers. The Coney Knish features a homemade potato filling that is mashed and seasoned with salt and pepper, then wrapped in puff pastry along with a kosher all-beef hot dog and caramelized onions. It is a satisfying and filling snack that is perfect for any time of day, whether you are craving a hearty appetizer or a light lunch.

Instructions

1.	Boil the cubed potatoes in salted water until tender.
2.	While the potatoes are boiling, heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions and cook until caramelized, stirring occasionally.
3.	Drain the potatoes and mash with a potato masher until smooth. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
4.	Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
5.	Roll out the puff pastry onto a floured work surface, then cut into 8 rectangles.
6.	Place a heaping spoonful of mashed potatoes onto one half of each rectangle, leaving a border around the edge.
7.	Cut the hot dogs lengthwise and place one hot dog on top of the mashed potatoes on each rectangle. Add caramelized onions on top of the hot dogs.
8.	Fold the other half of each rectangle of puff pastry over the filling to form a pocket, then crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
9.	Brush the beaten egg over the tops of each knish.
10.	Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
11.	Serve warm and enjoy!
