Cooking Tips

• Make sure to tenderize the pork cutlets before breading them to ensure they are tender and juicy.
• Use a meat mallet or the back of a heavy skillet to tenderize the pork cutlets.
• For extra crispy schnitzel, you can double coat the pork cutlets by dipping them in the egg and breadcrumb mixture twice.
• If you don't have breadcrumbs, you can use crushed crackers or panko breadcrumbs as a substitute.
• Feel free to customize the potato salad by adding other ingredients like pickles, celery, or herbs.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover pork schnitzel can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat the schnitzel in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
• The warm potato salad is best served immediately, but any leftovers can be refrigerated and enjoyed cold the next day.
• Garnish the dish with fresh parsley or lemon wedges for an extra pop of flavor.
