Ingredients

French Fries

  • 2 medium Potatoes cut the potatoes into ¼ inch-thick sticks (about ½ lb of potato per portion)
  • ¼ cup Ketchup optional

Schnitzel

  • 2 Pork chops boneless, about 4 oz per portion
  • ½ cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 Egg beaten
  • ½ cup Seasoned Panko bread crumbs or more if needed
  • 2 slices Lemon
  • Fresh parsley garnish
  • ¼ cup Vegetable oil

Light Beer

  • 24 oz Light beer cold
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).
  • Prep the Ppotatoes: Place the potatoes into a large bowl and cover completely with cold water for 20 minutes (see note). Drain well and pat dry with a towel.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (204°C).
  • Add the fries to the air fryer. Cook according to the directions for the device. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Season the pork on both sides with salt and pepper. Place a piece of plastic wrap over the chops and using a mallet gently pound to about a ¼ inch thickness.
  • Coat the pork with flour, then dip in egg, and coat well with breadcrumbs using your hands to pack them on tight. Set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Fry the schnitzel golden brown to an internal temperature of 155°F (68°C) using a thermometer. Then place on paper towels to drain excess grease and season with salt.
  • Serve the schnitzel garnished with lemon and parsley with fries, and light beer.

Notes

Notes:
Pro Tip: Soaking the potatoes in cold water removes the excess starch and results in crispier fries.
