SCHUPFNUDELN (GERMAN FRIED POTATO DUMPLINGS)
These fried potato dumplings, called Schupfnudeln in German, are irresistible. The potatoes should be cooked the day before, as then the dumplings are easier to shape. Serve as a side as you would any other potato.

Steps:
- Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain.
- Peel cooked potatoes and place into a large bowl. Mash with a potato masher. Add eggs and flour and mix until well combined. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
- Use your hands to shape potato dough into oblong dumplings with two pointy ends. If the dough sticks to your hands, rinse them under cold water.
- Bring water to the boil in a large pot over high heat, then reduce temperature to a simmer. Drop small batches of the dumplings into the just simmering water. Cook until they float on the top. Remove dumplings with a slotted spoon and submerge in a bowl with cold water. Remove with a slotted spoon, put them in a colander, and drain well.
- Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat and saute Schupfnudeln until golden brown and crisp from all sides, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain on paper towel and keep warm until all Schupfnudeln are done.

Steps:
- Wash potatoes.
- Sometimes I peel the potatoes and sometimes I don't. It's good either way.
- Slice the potatoes into 1/8-inch thick slices.
- I take frozen bacon because it's easier to cut and cut strips down the side to get my one inch pieces.
- Put enough olive oil in a large deep skillet (cast iron is good) to cover bottom of pan about 1/4 inch deep. Add all of the potatoes to the pan, along with cut up bacon which hasn't been cooked yet; diced onions, parsley and salt and pepper.
- Cook on medium high heat, stirring and watching so that potatoes don't burn because they will stick to the bottom of pan as they are cooking and you will need to scrape them up as they are browning.
- You can cover the pan for the first 20 minutes of cooking and cook on low and then turn up the heat for the last 15 minutes or so in order to brown some of the potatoes.
- Good with steaks and a salad.
- Estimated on servings time to make.
Tips:
- Use a large, heavy skillet to prevent the potatoes from sticking and to ensure even cooking.
- Cut the potatoes into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly.
- Do not overcrowd the skillet or the potatoes will not cook properly.
- Stir the potatoes frequently to prevent them from burning.
- Season the potatoes with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add other ingredients, such as onions, bacon, or sausage, to the potatoes for a more flavorful dish.
- Serve the potatoes immediately after cooking, while they are still hot and crispy.
Conclusion:
German home fried potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. They can be served as a side dish or as a main course. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a dish that your family and friends will love.
