Very delicious! I didn't put in any nutmeg or parsley because we didn't have either at home which made mine rather plain, but they turned out to make a great meal, combined with Sauerkraut (very typical). I made one mistake by peeling the potatoes before boiling them, I think that's probably why the dough was quite sticky. The result was *very* homemade looking Schupfnudeln, but that was quite ok for the family! I'll defnitely make this again!
