Yea!!! A "broocheban" recipe!!!! I have been searching for a recipe for years! My grandmother passed away while I was living overseas and I didn't have the opportunity to get it from her. She was a fabulous cook and I use many of her old recipes! So keen to make this! My brothers back home will be so jealous!

Very similar to a good Gnocchi. The trick is to keep the potatoes from absorbing water which is why you have to keep the skins on the potatoes when boiling. Then, your input of flour will be lower and result in fluffier nudeln. Be careful of overmixing and/or adding too much flour you'll end up with gloppy, dense noodles. Also, a restaurant trick is to bake the potatoes in the oven, and it's very important to mix the egg in while the potatoes are still warm, otherwise the albumen won't react with the starch and it'll be harder to get a good quality nudeln

Very good and fairly easy to make. Never made them before or anything like it so I am assuming that it turned out correct. Would have been easy to make into small patties.

I am a fan of Schupfnudeln!!! This recipe is quite good, I would just suggest some little changes. I would use floury potatoes and cook them the previous day, otherwise the flour is not sufficient. This also solves the problem of peeling. Also I personally always simmer the formed noodles before frying them (just like gnochi) ! Great recipe for great food...especially with sauerkraut!

Giving two stars due to incorrect directions and difficulty of preparation; it still tasted great after I did my own troubleshooting! The directions for the recipe do not work! I'd highly recommend peeling the potatoes before cooking as I lost half to the trash trying to peel soft potatoes! Also, the amount of flour suggested is bogus! For 6 servings it said 1/4 cup. I needed to add 2 cups before my potato mixture would even roll out on a heavily floured surface. Tasted good but didn't get very good "noodle" shapes due to low flour content. I'd recommend upping the flour. My grandmother made these for years and never gave a recipe before getting Alzheimer's.

I lived in Germany for three and a half years, and after stumbling across this recipie I knew I had to make it--the final product is an extremely authentic noodle, and tastes exactly like I remember. They are also very good sauteed with onion. :)
