Instructions

Oven-Baked Potatoes

  • Start by preheating the oven to 225 degrees Celsius (437 degrees Fahrenheit) on the fan setting. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Peel the potatoes - or scrub them well - and cut them into wedges. Rinse them in cold water, drain and dry them thoroughly.
  • Make a mixture of olive oil and melted butter, toss the potatoes in the mixture, and spread them out on the tray.
  • Bake the potatoes until they are tender and golden (25 min). Sprinkle with salt and serve immediately.

Mushroom Sauce

  • Clean the mushrooms thoroughly and slice them.
  • Sauté them in plenty of butter - be careful not to stir too much, let the mushrooms brown.
  • Add lemon juice and white wine and let it reduce.
  • Add cream and broth and let the sauce simmer and thicken. Season with salt and pepper.
  • If desired, you can thicken your mushroom sauce with a mixture of flour and milk.

Wienerschnitzel

  • Crack the egg and beat it in a deep plate or dish.
  • Mix flour with salt and pepper in another deep plate or dish.
  • Fill a third plate or dish with breadcrumbs.
  • Dredge the schnitzels in flour, then in egg, and finally in breadcrumbs.
  • Fry the breaded schnitzels at high heat on a spacious pan in butter. Fry them for 3 minutes on each side. You may use a spoon to baste the upper side with butter.
  • Serve your wienerschnitzel with the oven-baked potatoes, mushroom sauce, and steamed broccoli.
