Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain and peel potatoes. Place potatoes into a large bowl and mash with a potato masher. Add flour and eggs; mix until well combined. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Use your hands to shape potato dough into oblong dumplings with two pointy ends. If dough sticks to your hands, rinse them under cold water. Bring water to a boil in a large pot over high heat, then reduce to just a simmer. Working in batches, cook dumplings in just simmering water until they float on top. Use a slotted spoon to transfer dumplings to a large bowl of cold water. Remove with a slotted spoon to a colander; drain well. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté Schupfnudeln in hot butter until golden brown and crisp on all sides, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Recipe Tip The original German recipe is in metric. If you have a scale, the metric measurements are 750 grams potatoes and 225 grams flour.
