This sweet pasta recipe for homemade potato noodles with finely chopped walnuts and powdered sugar will blow your mind, the whole thing tastes so heavenly!
Nussnudeln are not as well-known as Austrian Mohnnudeln (poppy seed noodles), but they are just as perfect food for the soul (i.e. "Austrian soulfood", so to speak).
Like other Austrian pastry recipes, they can be served both as a dessert and as a main course.

For the sweet walnut pasta you need
- 400 g of floury potatoes (14 oz / 0.9 lbs)
- 125 g of all purpose flour (1 cup)
- 1 egg yolk
- 25 g of butter (bit less than 2 tablespoons)

Shelf Life & Freezing
Schupfnudeln made of potato dough taste best fresh, but keep cool in the fridge for a few days. To reheat it is best to heat it in the microwave or in a pan with a little butter, but do not cook again.
Schupfnudeln are best frozen uncooked, but they can also be frozen if they have already been cooked. More information about freezing Schupfnudeln can be found here.
