0 Boil the potatoes until soft inside. Drain the cooking water. Peel the potatoes as soon as they are cool enough to touch. Let them cool down.
1 In a medium bowl, mash the potatoes. Add the remaining ingredients and mix them well. You can also use your hands. 
2 On a lightly floured surface, roll the potato mixture into a long roll. Cut into smaller pieces. Shape each piece into a small log with pointy ends.

4 With a slotted spoon, remove the Schupfnudeln from the cooking water. 
5 Optional: fry them in melted butter until golden brown.
