Schupfnudeln (Potato Dumplings)
If you have learned to make plum dumplings, schupfnudeln will be no trouble. The dough is made in exactly the same way; the difference, apart from the strikingly different shape, is that schupfnudeln can be made sweet or savoury, so it is up to you whether you want a traditional dessert or an old-fashioned side dish. And if you have not learned to make the dumplings – well, hurry up!

Tip: White potatoes are better, because they break down more nicely in the dough.

When the potatoes are cooked, that is, when they are soft, drain them and mash them well.

While the potatoes are still warm, add the margarine and work it in well, then leave them to cool a little.

Tip: The potatoes must cool before you go on, so that the eggs do not partly "cook" on the hot potato.

Add the eggs to the potatoes and mix well.

Tip: Add as much flour as it takes to make a dough that does not stick to your fingers.

Drop the schupfnudeln into the boiling water and cook them for about half an hour, that is, until they float to the surface.
Tip: Take care that they do not stick to the bottom of the pot when you drop them into the boiling water. If it does happen, just loosen them with a wooden spoon.
