My daughter-in-law brought this dish once for Shabbos and we had not one tiny piece of schnitzel left. I filed the recipe away and knew I had to try it with potato starch instead of flour for Pesach. It works perfectly and freezes well too. There are a few steps — marinate fry sauce and bake but none of them are too difficult. You’ll see how much your family will appreciate it and you’ll want to double the recipe next time!
