German Cooking Recipe
Schupfnudeln
Have fun making this German cooking recipe. Schupfnudeln is typical of the Baden-Wurttemberg state in South-West Germany. My mother-in-law makes this German noodle recipe by hand by rolling out the potato dough onto a wooden board and then cutting and forming them into shape. The back and forth movement used to roll out the potato mixture is called Schupfen or Wargeln. It depends on the region as to which word is used. Hence where the German potato noodles get the name Schupfnudeln. Enjoy my German cooking recipe with sauerkraut or sausages. They are easy to make and taste delicious. If you don't know what to make the kids for dinner try this easy German Kid recipe and enjoy some traditional German food. Serve with apple puree or compote. This recipe is a firm favourite in the Kindergarten!
German Noodle Recipe
1kg potatoes, cooked the day before 2-3 eggs a pinch of salt and nutmeg 100g flour 4 litres of boiling saltwater lard for frying
Peel the potatoes and finely grate them. Add the egg, salt, nutmeg and just enough flour until the mixture holds together (this depends on the sort of potato). Knead the mixture thoroughly, form a roll and cut into slices.
On a floured board form into small finger-sized rolls. Boil the Schupfnudeln in slightly salted water until they rise to the surface. It is a good idea to test one before you continue. If it falls apart in the water, put a little more flour into the remaining mixture. Drain the German potato noodles, then fry them in lard or butter until golden brown and crisp.
Serve with Sauerkraut or pot-roast.
Oven Baked Potato Noodles
You can place the well drained potato noodles in a greased baking dish. Beat 1-2 eggs with 2-3 tbsp cream and pour over the potato noodles. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C and bake for about 20 minutes until golden brown.
