Ingredients

🥩 4 veal cutlets (about 150g each)

🧂 Salt and pepper, to taste

🌾 100g all-purpose flour

🥚 2 eggs

🍞 150g breadcrumbs

🛢️ Vegetable oil or clarified butter, for frying

🍋 Lemon wedges, for serving

For the fries:

🥔 4 large potatoes

🛢️ Vegetable oil, for frying

🧂 Salt, to taste

Preparation

1. 🔨 Gently pound the veal cutlets to about 4mm thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

2. 🥣 Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.

3. ✋ Dredge each cutlet first in flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Press lightly so the crumbs stick.

5. 🧻 Drain on paper towels.

6. 🥔 Peel and cut the potatoes into thin strips. Soak in cold water for 30 minutes, then dry well.

7. 🌡️ Heat oil to 170°C (340°F). Fry the potatoes until golden and crispy. Drain and season immediately with salt.

8. 🍽️ Serve schnitzels hot with fries and lemon wedges.
