Ingredients

• 500 grams Russet potatoes
• 100 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into even-sized chunks. Place the potato chunks into a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 2

Drain the potatoes thoroughly and return them to the pot. Over a low heat, shake the pot for a minute to allow the excess moisture to evaporate.

Step 3

Mash the potatoes until they are completely smooth. You can use a potato masher or a potato ricer for best results.

Step 4

Let the mashed potatoes cool slightly. Add the all-purpose flour, the large egg, salt, ground nutmeg, and black pepper. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Step 5

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead gently until smooth. Roll the dough into long logs about 1 inch in diameter.

Step 6

Cut the logs into 2-inch pieces. Roll each piece between your hands to form a dumpling with tapered ends.

Step 7

Fill a wide pot with salted water and bring it to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer. Add the Schupfnudeln in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Cook until they rise to the surface, about 5 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to cool slightly.

Step 9

Preheat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and spray lightly with cooking spray. Add the Schupfnudeln in batches to avoid crowding and cook for about 5 minutes on each side or until golden brown, turning occasionally.

Step 10

Serve the Low Fat Schupfnudeln warm with your choice of toppings or sauces such as low-fat sour cream, sautéed vegetables, or a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
