Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 7 medium size potatoes (about 550 grams), peeled and diced
- 200-220 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 pinches of salt
- 2 tablespoons sunflower oil
- 100 grams grated poppy seed
- 40 grams powdered sugar
Instructions
- Place the diced potatoes in a large pot, add one pinch of salt, and cover with water. Cook the potatoes over medium-high heat for about 15 minutes until tender.
- Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly. Once cooled, mash the potatoes until smooth.
- Gradually add the flour to the mashed potatoes, mixing until a dough forms. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
- On a floured surface, roll the dough into long ropes about 1 cm thick. Cut the ropes into 2 cm pieces to form the nudli.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the nudli pieces and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
- Drain the cooked nudli and toss them with sunflower oil to prevent sticking.
- In a large bowl, combine the grated poppy seed and powdered sugar. Add the nudli and toss until they are well coated with the poppy seed mixture.
- Serve warm and enjoy your traditional Hungarian mákos nudli.
Notes
For best results, ensure the potatoes are well mashed to avoid lumps in the dough. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. Leftover nudli can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before serving.
