Smashed Red Potatoes

Chicken Schnitzel

Southern White Gravy

Method

Smashed Red Potatoes

  1. 1

    Prepare Potatoes

    Wash and cut the red potatoes into quarters. Place them in a large pot and cover with water.

  2. 2

    Boil Potatoes

    Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

  3. 3

    Mash Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add minced garlic, sour cream, butter, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Chicken Schnitzel

  1. 4

    Prepare Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to about 1/2 inch thickness using a meat mallet.

  2. 5

    Set Up Breading Station

    Set up three bowls: one with flour seasoned with salt and pepper, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.

  3. 6

    Bread Chicken

    Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in egg, and then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  4. 7

    Pan-Fry Chicken

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.

Southern White Gravy

  1. 8

    Make Roux

    In the same skillet used for the chicken, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for about 1 minute until golden.

  2. 9

    Add Milk

    Slowly pour in milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Cook until gravy thickens, about 3-5 minutes.

  3. 10

    Season Gravy

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Keep warm until ready to serve.
