What you'll need.

For the schnitzels

  • Potatoes, boiled and mashed
  • ½ bell pepper, chopped
  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tbsp potato starch
  • 30 ml cream
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Oil for frying

For the dip

  • 3 tbsp Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp mustard
  • Dried garlic, to taste
  • Lemon juice
  • Spicy paprika, to taste
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

How to make it.

  1. Boil and mash the potatoes, then mix in the chopped bell pepper, parsley, potato starch, cream, salt and pepper.
  2. Shape the mixture into patties.
  3. Fry in oil on both sides until golden and crisp.
  4. Stir together the yogurt, mayonnaise, mustard, dried garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt and pepper for the dip.
  5. Serve the schnitzels warm with the dip.

My tips.

Let the mash cool before shaping so the patties hold together. The potato starch is key for a crisp edge.
