Pas a pas

1. 1

   Boil the potatoes in their skins until very tender, then peel immediately and pass them through a potato ricer or mash thoroughly while still hot.

   Uns 15 min

   Nota de cuina: Mashing hot potatoes helps prevent a gummy texture.

2. 2

   Spread the mashed potato onto a clean surface or large plate and let it cool completely, about 10-15 minutes.

   Uns 10 min

3. 3

   Once cooled, transfer the potato to a large bowl and add the all-purpose flour, egg yolk, salt, and nutmeg.

   Uns 1 min

4. 4

   Gently mix the ingredients with your hands until a soft, pliable dough forms, being careful not to overwork it.

   Uns 2 min

   Nota de cuina: Overworking the dough can make the schupfnudeln tough.

5. 5

   Divide the dough into several smaller portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a long rope, about 1.5 cm thick.

   Uns 5 min

   Cut the ropes into 2-3 cm pieces, then take each piece and roll it between your palms to create the characteristic tapered, spindle shape of schupfnudeln.

   Uns 5 min

   Nota de cuina: Keep your hands lightly floured to prevent sticking.
