Breaded Chicken Cutlet with Fries and Potato Dumplings

Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken cutlets
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 pounds potatoes
• 1 pound frozen french fries
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. 1

   Boil 1 lb potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth; season with 1/2 tsp salt. Let cool slightly.

2. 2

   Shape the mashed potatoes into 4 dumplings. In a large pot of boiling salted water, gently simmer the dumplings for 10 minutes until they float and are heated through. Remove with a slotted spoon and keep warm.

3. 3

   Meanwhile, bake the frozen fries according to package directions, typically 20-25 minutes at 425°F, until golden and crispy.

4. 4

   Set up a breading station: place 1/2 cup flour, 2 beaten eggs, and 1 cup breadcrumbs in three separate shallow bowls. Season the breadcrumbs with 1/2 tsp salt.

5. 5

   Pound the 4 chicken cutlets to even thickness. Dredge each in flour, dip in egg, then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

6. 6

   Heat 1/2 cup oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Fry the cutlets in batches, without crowding, until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

7. 7

   Serve the cutlets with fries and dumplings, garnished with fresh rosemary if desired.
