I was going to say, spaetzle are, I believe, a sort of South German gnocchi (the only person I knew who made them and, indeed, owned a spaetzle maker (which looks like either a gigantic garlic press or a mooli-grater with big holes) came from Augsburg. You mash potato probably with something like butter and nutmeg and then force them through the maker and then cook the results with onion and , this being Germany after all, doubtless cubes of smoked ham.
