Peel and quarter the potatoes. Place them in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and let them simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool briefly. Pass the potatoes through a potato ricer into a large bowl for a smooth texture.
Add the gluten-free flour, egg, salt, and nutmeg to the riced potatoes. Mix until all ingredients are well combined, forming a smooth dough.
Dust a clean working surface with a little gluten-free flour. Divide the dough into four portions. Roll each portion into a long rope about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 1-inch pieces.
Gently roll each piece into a small oval shape using your hands. The ends should be slightly tapered to achieve the characteristic Schupfnudeln shape.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Carefully drop the Schupfnudeln into the water in batches. Cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain well.
Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the cooked Schupfnudeln in a single layer.
Fry the Schupfnudeln for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and crisp on the outside, stirring occasionally to ensure even browning.
Remove from the skillet and serve warm as a side dish or main course, garnished with herbs of your choice.
