"Two things we love to hear in the kitchen: Classic and simple. If it’s been a while since your last crispy schnitzel, time for this quick classic: The Wiener schnitzel. Start preparing the potato salad, and build your plate for this foolproof dish. Crispy yet moist, flavorful and ready for a full plate of potato salad (or potato fries), radish, the star schnitzel, and beautifully squeezed lemon on top! If you always thought the Wiener schnitzel would be hard to make at home, let this recipe prove you wrong."
