Breaded And Baked Or Fried Cutlet With Mashed Potatoes Recipe

Preparing the Cutlet

1. Begin by tenderizing your choice of meat cutlet to an even thickness. Coat it lightly with flour, dip into a beaten egg, and finally, envelop in breadcrumbs for that perfect crumbly exterior. 2. For a healthier version, you can bake the cutlet in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for about 12-15 minutes on each side, until golden and cooked through. Alternatively, for a classic approach, fry in a skillet with sufficient cooking oil over medium heat until each side turns a perfect golden brown, indicating it's ready to captivate your taste buds. 3. Rest the cutlet on a paper towel momentarily to soak up any excess oil.

Making the Mashed Potatoes

1. Peel and cut potatoes into even pieces and boil in salted water until tender and easily pierced with a fork. Drain well. 2. Return the boiled potatoes to the pot, adding in butter, milk or cream, and salt to taste. Mash until you achieve your desired consistency—creamy and smooth or with a few delightful lumps, depending on personal preference. 3. For an extra touch of luxury, you can fold in some roasted garlic or a sprinkle of fresh herbs before serving.
