Step 1

Cook the potatoes in boiling water with the peel on for around 20-25 minutes until you can easily pierce them with a fork. Remove them from the pot.

Step 2

Let the potatoes cool for a few minutes, then peel them.

Step 3

Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or press them through a potato press. Make sure that there are no lumps.

Step 4

Place the mashed potatoes in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the flour, egg, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (optional). Mix everything together using your hands and form a ball of dough.

Step 5

Separate the dough into two equal parts. Sprinkle some flour onto your countertop and roll out half of the dough into a long "sausage" with a diameter of approximately 1.5 inches.

Step 6

Cut the dough into pieces approximately 3/4 inch long. Then roll out each small piece on the countertop or between the palm of your hands. Use more flour if the dough sticks to the countertop. Roll the dough until it has the approximate thickness of a finger, then gently roll the ends of the noodle thinner so that they have a tapered shape to them. Once you have used up all of the dough, repeat the steps with the second half of the dough.

Step 7

Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Add some salt, then turn down the heat to medium-low so the water is just very lightly boiling.

Step 8

Add around 1/4 or 1/3 of the Schupfnudeln (depending on the size of your pot) to the hot water and let them sit for around 5 minutes until they rise to the top. Remove them with a straining spoon, then boil the next batch. We don't like boiling too many Schupfnudeln at once so they all have the space to rise to the top when done. You can now use the Schupfnudeln in various sweet or savory dishes.

Step 9

Optional: Fry the Schupfnudeln in butter. For that, melt two tablespoons of butter in a large frying pan and drop the boiled Schupfnudeln into the pan after you take them out of the pot. Fry them on medium heat until the sides are golden brown. Turn regularly. Fried Schupfnudeln taste great with some Sauerkraut.
