Ingredients
  

  • 500 g potatoes (approx. 5 medium sized)
  • 100 g rice flour
  • 50 g potato starch
  • 1 tbsp psylllium husk ground
  • ½ tsp salt
  • some water if needed

Instructions
 

  • Cook the potatoes in the jacket until they are soft (approx. 45 minutes - depending on size). Let them cool down a little before peeling them. If you can, let them cool down for several hours or overnight.
  • Press the cooked potatoes through a potato press or mash them as fine as possible with a potato masher.
  • Add the remaining ingredients and stir until it forms a fluffy dough that is easily shaped. If needed, add water by the tablespoon until the texture is right.
  • Form the dumplings into the shape seen on the photos and place them on a surface dusted with flour. In the meantime bring a large pot of water to the boil.
  • When the water is boiling, place the dumplings in the pot. Cover the pot with a lid and turn off the heat. The finished Schupfnudeln will swim on the surface.
  • Scoop the cooked dumplings out of the water and place them directly in a lightly greased frying pan. Fry them from both sides and serve. Enjoy :)
