Ingredients
- 4 pork cutlets, pounded to 1/4 inch thickness
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

- 4 large potatoes, boiled and diced
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup chopped dill pickles

Instructions
- Season the pork cutlets with salt and pepper.
- Dredge each cutlet in 1 cup of flour, then dip in 2 beaten eggs, and coat with 1 cup of breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere.
- Heat 1/2 cup of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded cutlets for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Schnitzel with Potato Salad is a classic Austrian dish that has gained popularity worldwide. The dish consists of a thin, breaded and fried meat cutlet, typically made with veal or pork, served with a side of creamy potato salad. The origins of schnitzel can be traced back to the 19th century in Vienna, where it was first documented. The dish quickly became a staple in Austrian cuisine and spread to neighboring countries. Chefs like Franz Sacher and Karl Escoffier are credited with popularizing schnitzel in their respective restaurants, where they perfected the art of breading and frying the cutlets to golden perfection. Today, the best versions of this dish can still be found in traditional Viennese restaurants, where chefs adhere to the time-honored methods of preparation. The key to a perfect schnitzel lies in the breading - a crispy, golden crust that encases a tender, juicy cutlet. The potato salad, on the other hand, should be creamy and well-seasoned, providing a refreshing contrast to the richness of the schnitzel. While veal and pork are the traditional choices for the cutlet, variations using chicken or turkey have also become popular. For those looking for a twist on the classic recipe, some chefs have experimented with alternative methods of cooking the schnitzel, such as baking or air frying, to achieve a lighter, healthier version of the dish. However, purists argue that nothing beats the traditional pan-fried schnitzel for its unbeatable flavor and texture. Whether enjoyed in a cozy Viennese bistro or recreated at home, Schnitzel with Potato Salad continues to be a beloved dish that celebrates the rich culinary heritage of Austria.
