Instructions

  • In a large bowl, toss the fingerling potatoes with vegetable oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer the potatoes to the air fryer and cook at 375°F until tender, 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  • Transfer the potatoes to a cutting board and let them cool enough to handle.

  • Season the breaded cutlets with salt and pepper.
  • Spray the breaded pork cutlets liberally with cooking spray.
  • Transfer 2 cutlets to the air fryer and cook at 375°F until the breading is golden brown, about 8 minutes.
  • Transfer the cooked cutlets to a plate and repeat with the remaining cutlets.
  • Slice the roasted potatoes into thick coins.
  • In a bowl, toss the warm potato slices with Greek yogurt, finely chopped fresh dill, sliced cucumber, minced garlic, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide the potato and cucumber salad between two plates.
  • Serve with the warm pork schnitzel, topped with additional chopped dill.

Wine Advice:

This dish pairs well with a light-bodied white wine such as a Riesling or a Grüner Veltliner. The acidity and fruitiness of these wines complement the crispy pork schnitzel and the refreshing cucumber salad, enhancing the overall dining experience.
