Potato Noodles
Potato noodles are a delightful, gluten-free dish with a soft texture, perfect for a comforting meal. Great with browned butter and versatile toppings or sides.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Stir together grated potatoes, salt, beaten egg, and 1 cup of flour using a fork.
- Drop teaspoon-sized portions of the mixture into boiling water.
- Boil for 10 minutes until cooked through.
- Drain the noodles and rinse in clear water.
- Brown butter in a skillet and pour over the cooked noodles.
- Serve with sweet cabbage, cottage cheese, or separately as desired.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother texture, ensure the grated potatoes are well-drained to remove excess moisture. If you're out of flour, try using a gluten-free alternative like almond flour or cornstarch. Adding a pinch of nutmeg to the dough can enhance the flavor. For extra richness, consider using two eggs instead of one.
Serving Suggestions
These potato noodles pair beautifully with sweet cabbage or cottage cheese for a hearty meal. They can also be served with a simple sauce, such as a Cream Sauce For Vegetables, for added flavor. Consider garnishing with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of cheese for extra taste.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover potato noodles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, sauté them in a skillet with a bit of oil or butter until warmed through. You can also add a splash of water and steam them for a softer texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make potato noodles ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. When ready to cook, just drop the portions into boiling water as instructed. This makes meal prep easier and can save time during busy days.
What types of potatoes work best for this recipe?
Starchy potatoes like Russets or Yukon Golds are ideal because they create a light and fluffy noodle. Waxy potatoes may yield a denser texture, so it's best to avoid them. Experimenting with different types can yield unique flavors.
Can I freeze the cooked potato noodles?
Yes, you can freeze cooked potato noodles. Allow them to cool completely, then place them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag for up to two months. To reheat, boil directly from frozen until heated through.
