Potato-Crusted Pork Schnitzel with Hot Pepper Mayonnaise

The recipe for tonight's dinner was found on the Food & Wine site. I was not sure the Hot Pepper Mayonnaise would be a hit but it was. The pork chops were perfectly cooked and perfectly moist. This is something I have a bit a problem with. I have a fear, it is a family thing, of serving undercooked pork.

For a side dish, we had mashed potatoes and sauteed Zucchini and Bok Choy.

This is my version of the Food & Wine Recipe for Potato-Crusted Pork Schnitzel with Hot Pepper Mayonnaise.

Ingredients-
1/4 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons seeded minced cherry pepper

Kosher salt
Pepper

2 large eggs

1 cups dried potato flakes 

4 (4-ounce) boneless pork chops, lightly pounded to 1/4 inch thick

1/4 cup unsalted butter

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil



Method-
Combine mayonnaise and cherry pepper in a small bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.


Beat eggs with a pinch of salt in a shallow bowl. Spread potato flakes in a separate shallow bowl. Season pork chops to taste with salt and pepper. Dip pork chops in egg, letting excess drip back into the bowl. Dredge pork chops 
in potato flakes, pressing to help flakes adhere.
 
Heat butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high until butter melts. Working in batches, add pork to skillet, and cook until browned and crispy, about 2 minutes and 30 seconds per side. Transfer pork chops to a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, and serve the pork with the hot pepper mayonnaise.
