CHICKEN SCHNITZEL WITH WARM POTATO SALAD
Wolfgang Puck says about his weinerschnitzel: "This is a recipe from my childhood, an Austrian classic. It's one of the most popular dishes at Spago where we serve it with mache, frisée, balsamic vinegar and pumpkinseed oil. But for me, it's perfect with just a fingerling potato salad." He modified his weinerschnitzel to chicken for the People Magazine article 'Dinner for 4 under $10", which was published February 22, 2010. Cook/prep time does not include rest time for potatoes. This would pair nicely with an Austrian riesling. Taken from People magazine and posted for ZWT.

PORK HOLSTEIN SCHNITZEL WITH AUSTRIAN POTATO SALAD AND PICKLED CUCUMBERS
Steps:
- For the pork Holstein schnitzel: Trim any excess fat from the pork chops. Butterfly the chops and then pound to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet. Season with salt.
- Set up a dredging station with three shallow dishes. Place the flour in the first, one of the eggs whisked with a splash of water in the second and the panko in the third. Dip the pork into the flour first, dusting off any excess. Dip the pork into the egg next, and finally the panko, making sure to press the panko into the pork firmly to ensure it's nicely packed on.
- Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat with vegetable oil that covers the bottom of the pan by about 1/2 inch. Heat until the oil shimmers, then add the breaded pork and fry until nicely golden brown on the underside, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the pork and fry for another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the pork to a paper towel-lined plate to blot any excess oil and season with salt. Transfer the pork to a sheet tray lined with a rack to rest.
- Drain the frying oil from the pan and add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Add the anchovies and stir until they're broken up. Add the garlic and capers and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add 2 pats of the butter and the chicken stock and swirl the pan until the butter melts and the sauce starts to come together and lightly thicken. Add the remaining butter and swirl until melted. Remove from the heat and toss in the parsley.
- Heat a small nonstick pan with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Crack the remaining 2 eggs into the pan and cook until the whites begin to set. Add 1 teaspoon of water and cover. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 2 minutes.
- For the Austrian potato salad: To a large bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, chicken stock, olive oil, whole-grain mustard, garlic, red onion and salt to taste. Set aside.
- Place the potatoes into a pot of cold water and generously season with salt. Turn on the heat and bring to a boil. Cook the potatoes until fork tender, about 15 minutes. Drain, then immediately toss into the vinaigrette. Gently stir until the potatoes are fully coated in the vinaigrette. Allow to sit for a few minutes, then toss with the chives right before serving.
- For the pickled cucumbers: Mix together the white wine vinegar, salt, sugar, crushed red pepper, dill, garlic and 1/4 cup water in a large bowl. Add the cucumbers and toss to combine. Set aside for at least 30 minutes to pickle.
- To serve, plate the pork schnitzel and top each piece of pork with a fried egg, then spoon the anchovy caper sauce over the top. Serve alongside the warm potato salad and pickled cucumbers.

CRISP CHICKEN SCHNITZEL WITH LEMONY HERB SALAD
This schnitzel is light and crunchy with a crust that rises like a soufflé. The secret is to trap air in the crust when you cook the meat by moving and shaking the pan (Ms. Clark demonstrates with pork in this video.) You can use this technique with a variety of meat cutlets.

Steps:
- Mince anchovies and garlic and mix with a large pinch of salt until you get a rough paste. Put it in bowl and whisk in the lemon zest, juice and another pinch of salt and some pepper. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil.
- Place eggs in one shallow dish, bread crumbs in another, and flour mixed with cayenne and nutmeg in a third. Season chicken cutlets generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat 1/8 inch oil in a large skillet. While oil heats, dip cutlets one by one into flour (shake off any excess), then into eggs (ditto) and finally into the bread crumbs, taking care not to handle chicken more than necessary (hold meat by ends).
- When oil sizzles when a pinch of bread crumbs is thrown in, add a chicken cutlet (or two if your skillet is large, leave plenty of room around them). Swirl pan so oil cascades over top of cutlet in waves. When bottom is golden brown, about 3 minutes, flip and brown the other side, swirling pan (swirling helps create air pockets, giving you lighter schnitzel). Transfer to a paper-towel-lined baking platter or baking tray and sprinkle with more salt. Repeat with remaining chicken.
- Toss salad greens and herbs with just enough anchovy-lemon dressing to lightly coat them. Divide salad on serving plates and top with schnitzel. Drizzle with more dressing and garnish with scallions.

WIENER SCHNITZEL WITH A PROPER POTATO SALAD
My adaptation of Huey's Weiner Schnitzel with a Proper Potato Salad. It is the homemade mayonnaise that makes this potato salad particularly delicious - or as Huey described it "proper" - and making it in a food processor couldn't be easier, although it could, of course, also be made by hand. Huey opts for vegetable oil here rather than olive oil as he insists that it can more effectively be flavoured with other ingredients such as herbs and garlic. The bacon he panfries in olive oil and then adds to the hot potatoes which readily absorb the bacon juices. The leftover eggwash he suggests saving and later adding to some extra eggs to make scrambled eggs. To avoid getting lumps in the breadcrumbs, he suggests using one hand for dipping each schnitzel in the flour and egg and the other hand for dipping the floured, egged schnitzel into the breadcrumbs. If you want to enjoy the potato salad at its most flavoursome, it is essential that it NOT be placed in the fridge but that it is made and eaten on the same day.

Steps:
- Cook the potatoes in lightly salted boiling water until tender; then drain them well and set aside to cool a little.
- To make the mayonnaise, whiz up 2 eggs and 2 egg yolks with the mustard, garlic and a pinch of salt in a food processor for 1 minute, then pour the vegetable oil through the feeder tube, a little at a time, while continuing to mix the other ingredients; add the juice of half a lemon (depending on size), and salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste; briefly whiz to combine lemon juice, salt and pepper and taste to check that the seasoning is as you like it.
- Heat 3/4 tablespoon of the olive oil in a non-stick pan and sauté the bacon until it is crisp and golden; toss the potatoes, bacon and spring onions in a bowl, together with the mayonnaise to taste; Set aside (but not in the fridge).
- Put the seasoned flour in a large bowl, the egg mixed with milk in another bowl, and the breadcrumbs with parsley in a third bowl.
- Flour the schnitzels, one at a time, dip them in the egg wash and then in the breadcrumbs. (If time permits, place them on a tray and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to set the crumbs.).
- Heat the remaining olive oil in a large non-stick pan and make sure that the oil is really hot before adding the schnitzels so that the surface of the schnitzels is immediately sealed; depending on the size of the pan, they may best be panfried in batches; when taken out of the pan, drain the schnitzels well on kitchen paper towels (keeping warm in the oven, if necessary).
- To serve, place the schnitzels on individual plates with a mound of the potato salad and a lemon wedge on the side.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of meat: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for schnitzel. Make sure the chicken is about 1/2 inch thick, or pound it out until it is.
- Tenderize the chicken: Pounding the chicken helps to tenderize it and makes it more receptive to the breading.
- Use a light touch when breading the chicken: Don't over-handle the chicken, or the breading will fall off.
- Fry the chicken in batches: Don't overcrowd the pan, or the chicken will not cook evenly.
- Let the chicken rest before serving: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
- Serve the chicken with a variety of dipping sauces: Some popular choices include honey mustard, ketchup, BBQ sauce, and ranch dressing.
- For the potato salad: Use a variety of potatoes, such as red potatoes, Yukon Gold potatoes, and fingerling potatoes. This will give the salad a more interesting texture and flavor.
- Don't overcook the potatoes: They should be tender, but still hold their shape.
- Dress the potato salad with a flavorful vinaigrette: A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, and herbs is a great choice.
Conclusion:
Chicken schnitzel with warm potato salad is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The chicken is crispy and flavorful, while the potato salad is creamy and tangy. This dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.
