4. Add flour, starch, and egg. Season with salt to taste.
5. Mix roughly with a fork. Then knead everything with your hands to a smooth dough, but only very briefly.
6. On a well-floured worktop, divide the potato dough into 4 parts.
7. Form each part into a long sausage roll of about 1 inch thickness.
8. Cut the rolls into about 1 inch wide pieces.
9. Roll each piece individually between floured hands into a finger-thick roll with pointed ends.
10. Place so the formed Schupfnudeln on a well-floured platter.
11. In a wide POT, bring water to a boil. Season with salt to taste.
12. Depending on the size of the POT, place 10-20 Schupfnudeln in the boiling water.
13. Scoop them out when they rise to the top.
