Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Boil the 500g potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly, then peel and mash until smooth.

  2. Step 2

    Mix the mashed potatoes with 100g flour, 1 egg, and 1 tsp salt to form a soft dough. If sticky, add a little more flour.

  3. Step 3

    On a floured surface, roll the dough into ropes and cut into 3-inch pieces. Shape each piece into a small oval noodle.

  4. Step 4

    Melt 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the noodles in a single layer and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side.

  5. Step 5

    Serve hot, sprinkled with extra salt if desired.
