Easy potato noodles are soft, chewy noodles made from mashed potatoes and flour—egg-free and perfect with butter, herbs, or your favorite sauce. A simple, budget-friendly dish ideal for weeknights or using up leftover mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups smooth, cooled mashed potatoes (not overly buttery or wet)
  • 1 to 1½ cups all-purpose flour (as needed)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Butter or olive oil (for serving)
  • Optional toppings: grated cheese, garlic, fresh herbs, pesto, tomato sauce, or creamy sauces

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine mashed potatoes with salt. Gradually add flour until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
  2. Knead gently on a floured surface, adding flour as needed, until the dough is smooth but still tender.
  3. Divide the dough into portions and roll each into a rope about ½ inch thick.
  4. Cut into 2–3 inch strips or noodle shapes.
  5. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Boil the noodles in batches until they float—about 2–3 minutes.
  6. Remove with a slotted spoon and toss in a skillet with butter or olive oil.
  7. Season and serve with your favorite toppings or sauces.

Notes

  • Add garlic powder, Parmesan, or fresh herbs to the dough for extra flavor.
  • Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free version.
  • Add 1–2 teaspoons of tapioca or potato starch for a chewier texture.
  • Pan-fry the cooked noodles in butter for crispy edges.
