The mashed potatoes are time consuming, tiring, and so texturally awesome that they ruin every other type of mashed potatoes. I hate that I learned how to make them because now I have to make them this way every time.
As an Austrian, schnitzel with sauce hurts. But I hope it tasted good :-)
I kept it off the schnitzel and included the lemon, but I knew there would be someone authentic enough to call me out on that gaffe. :)
Next time I do it I’ll go with a nice tangy potato salad instead of the puree.
Jaegerschnitzel has mushroom gravy, so it’s not like there isn’t precedent for it.
