Peel the potatoes, halve the large ones and boil them in lightly salted water until tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
Drain and let the potatoes steam dry for a couple of minutes.
Warm the milk. Mash the potatoes with butter and warm milk until smooth, and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
Fry the bacon crisp in a dry frying pan.
