Notes

As you dip the potatoes into the egg/oil mixture, drop them into the crumbs and use your hands to sprinkle the crumb mixture over the potatoes to be sure they get well coated. Lift them out without shaking off too much of the coating, so as they bake, they’ll have a nice crisp outer texture.
Test the doneness of the potatoes by using the tip of a sharp paring knife; the blade should easily slide into the potatoes.
