A proper breaded pork schnitzel (cutlet) is a favorite for Sunday lunches. When properly pounded, seasoned, and fried in hot lard, it gets the right bubbly crust and remains beautifully juicy.

Ingredients

Instructions

1
Meat

Pound slices thinly (through foil), lightly score the edges to prevent curling. Season with salt and lightly pepper.

2
Breading

Flour → eggs beaten with mineral water → breadcrumbs (lightly press only).

3
Frying

In heated lard/oil at 170–175 °C, fry for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Do not overcrowd the pan – better in 2–3 batches.

4
Finishing

Place on a rack or paper to drain excess oil.

5
Mashed Potatoes

Peel and dice potatoes, boil in salted water until tender (15–18 min.). Drain, add butter and warm milk gradually. Mash until smooth, season with salt and nutmeg.

6
Serving

Schnitzel + mashed potatoes + tartar sauce, optionally with a lemon wedge and cucumber salad.

Tip

Do strúhanky primiešaj 1–2 PL oleja – obal sa lepšie nafúkne a bude rovnomerne zlatý. Ak chceš extra chrumkavé, použi zosilnené obaľovanie: strúhanka → vajce → strúhanka.
