    In a pot, boil water and place in 2 eggs for 6-8 minutes.

    Once potatoes are cooked, pull them out and leave to side to cool.

    Pull eggs out of water, take off the shell and dice into 1cm cubes and leave to the side.

    In a pan, heat oil to 180 degrees and cook schnitzels cooking on both sides until golden brown. 2-3 minutes per side.

    Plate up by placing schnitzel down first, then topping with potato salad, serving with a wedge of lemon on the side.
