Peel and quarter the potatoes. Place them in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain, and allow the potatoes to cool and dry out for a few minutes.
Pass the drained potatoes through a potato ricer or mash them until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps. Let the mashed potatoes cool completely.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled mashed potatoes, flour, salt, nutmeg, and eggs. Mix well to form a smooth, non-sticky dough. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time.
Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Roll each part into a long cylinder about 2 cm in diameter on a lightly floured surface. Use a sharp knife to cut the roll into 4-5 cm pieces.
Using your hands, roll each piece into a tapered dumpling shape, thicker in the middle and thinner at the ends (like small cigars).
Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Cook the schupfnudel in batches to avoid overcrowding, boiling them until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain well.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the cooked schupfnudel in a single layer and fry until golden brown and crispy on the outside, about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally to brown all sides evenly.
Transfer the schupfnudel to a serving dish. Sprinkle with chopped parsley, if using, and serve hot as a side dish or main course.
