Instructions

1
Place each schnitzel between film and pound to 5 mm. Season lightly. Lay ham or smoked neck and a slice of Gouda on one half and fold, or roll and pin with a toothpick.
Tip: Pound from the centre out. Thin edges cook before the cheese melts if you beat only the middle.
2
Coat flour-egg-crumb. Press the crumb on so it does not slide in the pan.
3
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 8 mm sticks. Rinse and dry well so they do not spit.
4
Heat 2 cm of oil. Fry the rolls 4 minutes per side until deep gold. Keep warm in a 90°C oven.
Tip: If cheese leaks, the heat is too high or a gap was left at the seam. Lower the flame and press the next roll tighter.
5
In the same oil fry the potato sticks 12 minutes, turning, until they are gold and tender inside. Salt at once.
6
For tartar, finely chop pickles, garlic and parsley. Stir into sour cream, mayonnaise, mustard and a squeeze of lemon. Salt to taste.
7
Pull the toothpicks. Plate a schnitzel with a pile of sticks and a spoon of tartar.
8
Serve at once - the cheese should still run when you cut.

Cooking methods

On the stove

A wide pan and a steady medium flame. The oil should shimmer, not smoke. Fry schnitzel first, then the sticks in the same fat so they pick up the pork flavour. Tartar is cold work - mix it while the first side fries.

On induction

Use the same pan or pot. Sear and fry on 7, sweat on 4–5, long braises on 2–3. Induction holds a simmer without scorching the bottom if the pot is heavy.

Over an open fire

A cast-iron pot over medium embers handles the braise and the cabbage. Fry patties or schnitzel in a skillet at the hotter edge, then move to cooler coals so crumbs do not burn.
