"A different take on German Schupfnudeln. They are very typical in South German and Austrian cuisine and are finger-shaped potato dumplings or noodles. With this recipe, I wanted to see if we can also bake Schupfnudeln in the oven. Everyone knows cheese spaetzle, but why not use Schufnudeln for it and round off with a few vegetables? Plus, to save time, the ingredients can be ordered via Picnic, which is a supermarket that helps with cooking. This way, cooking for the family is done in 1 minute."

FAQ

Schupfnudeln, or finger noodles, are finger-sized noodles or dumplings rolled with hands and made from potatoes and flour. They originate from the Swabian region and are very typical in Southern Germany and Austria. The name comes from the verb "schupfen", which means "to roll away" (with the curved hand).
