Boil the potatoes in their skins until they are tender, about 30-40 minutes. Drain, let them cool slightly, and then peel the skins off.
1.5 lbs. Russet Potato
Press the potatoes through a potato ricer or mash them finely with a fork. Allow them to cool to room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled, riced potatoes with the flour, egg, salt, and nutmeg. Gently mix until you have a smooth dough.
1 cup All-Purpose Flour, 1 Egg, ½ tsp. Salt, ¼ tsp. Nutmeg
Divide the dough into four portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a rope about 1/2-inch (1.25 cm) in diameter.
Cut the ropes into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces and roll each piece into a small oval shape with tapered ends.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Cook the Schupfnudeln in batches for 3-4 minutes or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Fry the Schupfnudeln until they are golden brown on all sides. Serve immediately.
2 tbsp. Unsalted Butter
