Instructions

    Transfer Skillet to Oven Using an oven-mitt, carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. (If you don’t have an oven-proof skillet, transfer the potatoes to a buttered 9x13-inch baking dish.)

Nourishment Notes

Nutmeg

Nutmeg is a spice and may act as a nausea reducer. It also contains antioxidants to help protect healthy cells.

Full-fat dairy products, such as cheese, cream, and whole milk, are high in calories. A high-calorie diet may be necessary if unwanted weight-loss is occurring. Dairy also provides important nutrients such as calcium, potassium, and vitamin D.
