Ingredients

  • 2 pieces veal cutlets
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 cups frozen french fries
  • 1 wedge lemon

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Spread the 2 cups frozen french fries on a baking sheet and bake until golden and crisp, about 20 minutes, shaking halfway.

  2. 2

    While fries bake, set up three shallow dishes: 0.5 cup flour, 2 beaten eggs, and 1 cup breadcrumbs. Season each cutlet with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Dredge each cutlet in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs, pressing crumbs to adhere. Heat 0.25 inch oil in a large skillet over medium-high.

  4. 4

    Fry cutlets until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. They should feel firm and look deeply golden.

  5. 5

    Serve cutlets with fries and a lemon wedge to squeeze over the top.
