Chicken cutlets with mashed potatoes

Mix the ground meat with finely grated onion, egg and salt. Slap it against the bowl by hand.

Beaten ground meat holds its shape and does not fall apart in the pan.

Peel the potatoes, cut them up and put on to boil.

Shape the cutlets and fry on both sides until a crust forms.

Turn down the heat, cover and cook the cutlets through.

Drain the water, pour in warm milk, add butter and mash.

The milk must be warm: cold milk turns the mash grey and gluey.

Put the cutlets next to the puree. Done!
