3 eggs
lard for frying
lemon for seasoning
pepper
salt for meat and potatoes

SCHNITZEL INSTRUCTIONS

1
Season the meat slices with pepper and salt thoroughly on both sides.
2
Spread breadcrumbs onto a cutting board and place a slice of meat on top. Sprinkle the top side of the meat with breadcrumbs and gently press the breadcrumbs into the meat with your palms. Cover the slice with cling film and gently pound the breadcrumbs into it with a meat mallet. Flip the meat and repeat the process. Coat the remaining meat slices in the same way.
3
Heat lard in a wide pan over medium heat. Whisk the eggs in a deep plate.
4
Coat the schnitzel with the pounded breadcrumbs in the whisked eggs and immediately place it into the hot lard. Reduce the heat to one-third and slowly fry the schnitzels for 3 minutes on each side. Place the cooked schnitzels on a plate lined with kitchen paper to absorb excess fat.
5
Serve with parsley potatoes and a lemon wedge.

POTATOES INSTRUCTIONS

1
Cut the potatoes into equal pieces and cook them in salted water for 15-20 minutes until tender. Drain. Melt the butter over low heat. Pour the hot butter over the potatoes, add the chopped parsley, season with salt, and mix everything.
