Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Potatoes
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
Begin by boiling the potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Cook them until they are tender, about 20 minutes.
Once cooked, drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly. Peel the potatoes and then press them through a potato ricer into a large bowl.
Add the flour, egg whites, salt, and nutmeg to the riced potatoes. Mix until a dough forms, being careful not to overwork it.
On a lightly floured surface, divide the dough into four portions. Roll each portion into a long log about 1-inch in diameter.
Cut each log into pieces around 2 inches long, then roll each piece between your palms to create a taper at both ends, resembling small dumplings.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle simmer and add the Schupfnudel. Cook in batches for about 3-4 minutes, or until they rise to the surface. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray lightly with olive oil. Add the Schupfnudel in batches, gently frying until they are golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.
Serve the Schupfnudel hot, as a side dish or with your choice of sauce or vegetables.
