Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the sweet potatoes and pierce them with a fork several times. Place them on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, let them cool slightly. Then peel and mash them until smooth and lump-free.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, almond flour, arrowroot starch, egg, salt, and nutmeg. Stir until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable. If it's too wet, add a bit more almond flour.
Dust a clean work surface with a little arrowroot starch. Take portions of the dough and roll into logs about 1/2 inch in diameter. Cut the logs into 1-inch pieces.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently drop the Schupfnudeln pieces into the boiling water in small batches. Let them cook until they float to the surface, about 3-4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside to drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the ghee. Add the boiled Schupfnudeln and cook, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Transfer the Schupfnudeln to a serving plate and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
