Basel's Chicken Shawarma

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken fillets (organic if budget holds)

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons crushed or ground nutmeg

  • 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 peeled baby potato, boiled, peeled and soft
