Peel and cut the potatoes into quarters. Place them in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly. Using a potato ricer or masher, mash the potatoes until smooth and let them cool completely.
Once cooled, transfer the mashed potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Add flour, cornstarch, salt, nutmeg, and black pepper. Mix until a smooth dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour.
Lightly dust your work surface with flour. Divide the dough into small portions and roll each piece into a rope, about 1 cm in diameter. Cut the ropes into 4-5 cm pieces, then roll each piece between your hands to form elongated, tapering shapes.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Add the Schupfnudel in batches and simmer until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Remove them with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate lined with a kitchen towel to drain.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and vegan butter over medium-high heat. Add the boiled Schupfnudel to the skillet and sauté until golden and crispy, about 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Serve the vegan Schupfnudel warm, possibly with a side of vegan sauerkraut or sautéed vegetables.
