Knishes may be truly underrated party food. If you make them small, they are perfect to eat with your fingers, they are ideal for dipping, and there are so many ways to stuff them: from veggies to cheese to smoked meat. If you’re gathering with friends for the biggest football game of the year, or just need some good snacking for any party, knishes are your friend.
