Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks. Boil in salted water until very tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the potatoes well and mash them thoroughly or pass them through a potato ricer into a large bowl. Allow them to cool slightly.
In the bowl with the potatoes, add the all-purpose flour, tapioca starch, salt, nutmeg, black pepper, and beaten eggs. Mix together until a smooth dough forms. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour as needed.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and divide it into 4 portions. Roll each portion into a long rope, about 1 inch thick.
Cut the ropes into 1-inch pieces and roll each piece between your hands to form little finger-like shapes, tapering the ends slightly.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently add the schupfnudeln pieces in batches to the boiling water.
Once the pieces float to the surface, let them cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove them with a slotted spoon and let drain on a clean kitchen towel.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Fry the schupfnudeln until they are golden and crispy on all sides, working in batches if necessary.
Serve the schupfnudeln hot, as a side dish or with your favorite dairy-free sauce.
