For the basil schupfnudeln boil the potatoes until soft, peel and press through the potato press. Knead the mixture with flour, basil paste, oil, salt, eggs and nutmeg.
Form the dough into a roll and cut findger-thick slices. Roll cigar-shaped noodles from the slices with floured hands. Heat salted water until it rolls but does not boil.
Cook Schupfnudeln in it for about 8 minutes. Remove Schupfnudeln, rinse, toss in warm butter and serve sprinkled with Parmesan cheese and plucked basil leaves.
