Peel and chop the potatoes in chunks.

In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil, then add the potato pieces. Cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the Brussels sprouts by cleaning them and cutting each sprout in half.

In a separate pot, bring salted water to a boil for the Brussels sprouts. Add them and cook until al dente, about 5-7 minutes.

Once cooked, drain both the potatoes and Brussels sprouts, and set them aside.

In a frying pan over medium heat, add the bacon cubes. Fry them until they are golden brown and crispy.

After the bacon is crispy, add the Brussels sprouts to the pan with the bacon and stir-fry briefly for a few minutes, allowing them to absorb the bacon flavor.

If desired, add a knob of butter to the pan and stir until melted, coating the sprouts in rich flavor.

Season with salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste, and if you like, sprinkle a little ground nutmeg for added warmth.

On a serving plate, place the boiled potatoes and serve alongside the Brussels sprouts mixed with bacon. Enjoy your dish!
