First thanks much to all for concern with my wife’s knee operation and for just being here. She does better every day and will probably be back home by next Thursday. My time in here is a little rest and get away for me.
Last night I did pork cutlets and leftover mashed potatoes I made potato cakes with. I just seasoned one cutlet and dredged in flour. The other one I breaded with egg and a mix of flour, a few cracker crumbs and some corn meal. The potato cakes I crusted with some Panko bread crumbs.
I wanted to see how the cutlets and potato cakes would do in my Treager with grill grates. I started at 300 deg. and checked after 15 minutes, the one cutlet with flour was browning some but the other and the potato cakes were not. I went to 350 deg. and another 7 minutes then flipped and went about 20 minutes.
I had a sandwich with the breaded cutlet, pickles and mustard. My salad was some marinated tomatoes and onions. It tasted pretty good.
Next time I will start at 350 deg. and the potato cakes I think would be better done in a skillet with oil.
