Potato Noodles (Schupfnudeln, Bubespitzle, Wargele) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 lbs potatoes (BOILED THE DAY BEFORE!)
3 eggs
salt
6 1/2 tablespoons flour

Preparation

Peel the potatoes and put through a ricer, or grate fine.
Add eggs, a pinch of salt, and as much flour needed to form a stiff dough.
Knead well.
On a floured surface, form into a long thick roll (about 4 inches thick). Lengthwise, cut off about 1/2 thick pieces. Form into rolls, about the size of your pinkie finger, maybe just a bit bigger.
Put into boiling, slightly salted water. When they float there done. It's a good idea to test one before continuing. If it falls apart in the water, put a little more flour into the remaining mixture.
Drain and fry in butter until lightly browned.
Serve with meat or sauerkraut.
