Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Grate the onion and potato using a medium or fine grater.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the soaked bread, grated onion, grated potato, ground pork, and egg. Mix thoroughly until evenly combined.
3. Seasoning:
- Add 3/4 tsp of salt and 1/8 tsp of black pepper to the mixture. Mix well to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
- Shape the mixture into small cutlets with your hands. Aim for a uniform size to ensure even cooking. You should get about 8-10 cutlets depending on the size.
- Spread the flour on a plate. Dredge each cutlet in the flour, ensuring they are evenly coated on all sides.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, place the flour-coated cutlets in the skillet. Cook them in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Fry each cutlet for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and fully cooked through. To check, you can use a meat thermometer – the internal temperature should be 160°F (71°C) for ground pork.
- Once cooked, transfer the cutlets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the pork cutlets hot, optionally with a side of your choice such as salad or steamed vegetables.
Tips:
- Make sure the bread is completely soaked in milk for a moist and tender cutlet.
- Finely dice the onion and grate the potato to ensure even cooking.
- Keep the heat medium-high when frying to achieve a golden, crispy crust without burning the cutlets.
- Let the cutlets rest on a paper towel after frying to absorb excess oil.
Pork cutlets with potato and onion are as delightful to eat as they are simple to prepare. This dish brings together comforting flavors and textures in a way that's sure to please any palate. Serve these cutlets with a side of fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced and satisfying meal.
