Ingredients:

  • 3 T toasted wheat germ
  • 3 T fine fresh bread crumbs
  • 3 T fresh grated Parmesan cheese
  • generous pinch of grated nutmeg
  • 4 T unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Lightly butter a baking dish.
  • Combine the wheat germ, bread crumbs, cheese and nutmeg in a shallow bowl.
  • Melt the butter in a medium-size saucepan. Remove from the heat.
  • Peel the potatoes and cut each in half lengthwise. Then cut each half lengthwise into 4 crescents (a total of 8 slices per potato).
