Refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.
Peel and grate potatoes.
In a bowl, combine the flour, egg, salt and nutmeg.
Add potatoes and mix until a stiff batter is formed, adding additional flour if necessary.
Slice toasted bread into 24 squares, 1/2 in. each; shape 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture around two bread squares, forming a 2-in.ball.
