Heat the frying oil to 175°C (approximately 350°F).
Peel the hardboiled eggs. Divide the ground pork mixture into 4 portions. Flatten each ground pork portion between your palms and flatten. Place 1 egg over each ground pork portion and cover the egg completely in it to make the scoth eggs. Heat the scotch eggs in hot frying oil until golden brown.
Drain the potatoes. Heat the remaining milk. Mash the potatoes with the hot milk coarsely. Season with salt and nutmeg.
