How to Make Crispy Potato Schnitzel at Home
Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Start by peeling the potatoes and cutting them into chunks. Boil them in salted water until they are tender, which usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
- Once tender, drain the potatoes and let them steam for a few minutes to remove excess moisture.
- Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes until smooth. If you prefer a creamier texture, you can add a bit of butter or a splash of milk.
- Finely chop the bell pepper and parsley.
Mixing and Shaping
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, chopped bell pepper, chopped parsley, crumbled feta, salt, and pepper. Stir in the cornstarch until everything is well mixed.
- Shape the mixture into schnitzels; about 1/2 inch thick works well for frying.
Cooking
- Heat a little oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the schnitzels for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
Preparing the Dip
- In a small bowl, mix together the yogurt, finely chopped gherkins, hot mustard, and a pinch of pepper.
Notes
For extra crunch, you can breadcrumb-powder your schnitzels before frying. Make sure your oil is hot enough before adding the schnitzels; it should sizzle when they hit the pan. Avoid overcooking the potatoes.
