SPICY GARLIC POTATO NOODLES
These homemade, gluten-free noodles are made with potato starch. Similar in texture to a pad Thai noodle (slippery and sticky on the outside and firm and chewy on the inside), they're neutral in taste and are perfect for absorbing the flavor of any sauce.

Steps:
- Combine 1 cup potato starch, salt, and vegetable oil in a bowl. Add a splash of boiling water at a time, stirring between additions, until you get a perfectly textured dough.
- Transfer to a work surface dusted with a little potato starch. Working quickly while the dough is still warm, knead, adding more potato starch if necessary, until smooth and elastic.
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Set out a large bowl of cold water.
- While the water is boiling, roll dough to a thickness of 1/8 inch. Cut into 1/4-inch noodles with a pizza cutter. Separate noodles.
- Add potato noodles (in batches if desired) and cook until they float, about 1 minute. Transfer to the bowl of cold water. Repeat to cook remaining noodles.
- Whisk oyster sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ketchup, sesame oil, sugar, and Sriracha together in a bowl.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and sizzle for 15 seconds. Add 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes and green onions; stir-fry for a just few seconds. Before the garlic starts to brown, add in the potato noodles. It's okay that some water comes into the pan as it will stop the cooking process and prevent the garlic from burning.
- Add sauce and stir until noodles are coated. Cook until noodles are heated through and sauce starts to simmer, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in 1/4 cup chopped cilantro.
- Divide noodles into 2 bowls and garnish with more cilantro and red pepper flakes.

POTATO NOODLES
Here's a grandmother's recipe related to gnocchi but from a grandmother who was not Italian. In this recipe from my mother, Annette Gertner, a potato-based dough is formed into small noodle shapes, which are tossed with bread crumbs and onions, Austrian-style. Another way to serve the noodles is to gently fold them with warm sour cream and chives.

Steps:
- Cut potato in quarters, place in a pot with water to cover, bring to a boil over high heat and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth in a large bowl. Allow it to cool to lukewarm. Stir in the egg and half the salt. Mix in enough flour to make a soft dough that's not sticky. Spread more flour on a board and transfer dough to the board. Knead lightly for a minute or two. Roll or pat into a rectangle that's about 1/4-inch thick.
- Mix onion with remaining teaspoon salt and spread in a large, heavy skillet. Cover and place over low heat to steam until tender but not brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Set aside.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Slice dough into 1/4-inch wide strips and cut into 1-inch-long pieces. Drop into boiling water, reduce heat to medium, and cook until noodles rise to the surface, 1 to 3 minutes. Drain and toss with 1 tablespoon of the butter. Keep covered.
- Add remaining butter to the skillet with the onions. Cook on medium until the butter melts, toss, add bread crumbs and dill and cook for a few minutes until ingredients are well-combined and the bread crumbs are fragrant. Add noodles, reheat and gently fold everything together and serve.
BADISCHE SCHUPFNUDELN (POTATO NOODLES)
Typical of Baden-Baden and the Baden-Wurttemberg state in southwestern Germany, schupfnudeln is a kind of spaeztle (homemade pasta) that gets its name from the Upper German word 'Schupfen,' meaning 'to shove, push, throw or chuck.' They are traditionally handmade by rolling out potato dough on a board and cutting the dough into noodles. Simple and easy to make, they are delicious and go well with almost anything: roast pork, racks of lamb, bits of bacon, sauerkraut, and any cabbage dishes.

Steps:
- Place whole potatoes in their skins into a large pot of boiling water; boil for 25 to 30 minutes. Remove potatoes, and discard water. When cool enough to handle, peel potatoes, and place on a lightly floured surface. Mash potatoes with a rolling pin.
- Place mashed potatoes into a large bowl. Stir in flour, egg, parsley, salt, and nutmeg. Knead well to form a smooth dough. Then roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/2 inch. Cut flattened dough into thin strips, about 1 1/2 inches long. Gently roll out the strips, or stretch them until the ends taper. Set aside for 15 minutes.
- In a large skillet, heat lard over medium heat. Place the potato strips into the skillet, and fry until golden brown on both sides.
