These are gnocchi styled potato pasta which are stir fried in butter and seasoned with herbs. Unlike Italy the origin of these handmade pasta is in Germany. This is a dish made popular by the Swabian region of Germany like the classic maultaschen. These are a great side dish to be served with meat and compliments the potato loving German soul. The word “Schupf” means rolling and “nudeln” means some dumpling. I prepared these for the German cuisine #potluck #wildasperagustable. You can learn about the potluck and the other mutton dumpling recipe here.
