Steam the potatoes the day before, peel them and let them cool overnight.
Either press the potatoes into a bowl with the potato press or grate them into the bowl with a fine vegetable grater. Add the flour and eggs, season with salt and nutmeg, and quickly knead into a firm dough with floured hands. Roll the dough with the palm of your hand on a floured board into finger-length and finger-thick noodles.
Grease a roasting dish or large casserole dish with clarified butter. Put the Schopperl in with a little distance from each other. Bake in the oven at 200 degrees for 30-40 minutes, until the underside is nice and brown.
Heat the milk. At the end of the baking time, take the Reine out of the oven, pour the hot milk over the Schopperl, stir well and put back in the oven until the Schopperl have soaked up the milk.
Together with sauerkraut and raw pork belly cooked in sauerkraut, this side dish is the most popular dish on the Upper Palatinate border ridge. Also very popular as a main course with compote or applesauce.
