The preparation of this dish will take only a little of your time. Begin by preheating the oven to 360F. Then, it is best to wash the potatoes and cut off the spots if there are any. Use a paper towel to dry well the potatoes. Next, take the baking dish/casserole that you intend to bake the potatoes and whisk together the coconut milk, flour, garlic powder, thyme, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Further on add the potatoes and give them a stir to coat well the sauce.

At this point, the oven must be well-preheated. Therefore, cover it with foil and pierce it with a fork a few times. Bake for 30 minutes with foil on for the heat to penetrate well the potatoes, then remove the foil and cook for another 20-30 minutes for a golden top.
