Boil potatoes in salted water until tender.

Drain and let cool slightly before peeling.

Mash the potatoes until smooth and let cool completely.

Mix mashed potatoes with wheat flour, egg, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg until a dough forms.

Divide the dough into portions and roll each into a long rope.

Cut the ropes into small pieces, about 2 inches long.

Shape each piece into a noodle by rolling it slightly.

Sprinkle cornstarch on your hands while making the noodle rolls and again after making all of them.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the noodles.

Cook until they float to the surface.

Remove with a slotted spoon and drain well.

Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat until melted.

Add the noodles and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
