Ron Silver could not have picked a better time to unleash the Cr’nish ($4 at Bubby’s High Line, 73 Gansevoort St., nr. Washington St.; 212-206-6200). What is a Cr’nish, you say? It’s smashed potatoes mingled with caramelized onions, wrapped in buttery croissant dough and baked to a golden brown. Think Ceci-Cela meets Yonah Schimmel. And think of the possibilities: Silver’s already talking pulled-pork and pastrami Reuben Cr’nishes down the line.
