Notes

I used panko crumbs but finer crumbs will also work.
There is no reason you can't boil the potatoes just be careful when cooking they don't fall apart.
Cut into wedges instead of slices so they are able to be dipped in sour cream or sweet chilli sauce.
Cut into fingers like chips.
Try it with sweet potato.
I usually empty the excess oil out of the pan and cook off the leftover egg from crumbing as it has all the flavours in the pan cooked into it.
