Grandma's Secret Tip
Grandma's Secret Tip
My uncle liked his food extra crunchy. So for a crunchier crust on these steaks, Grandma sometimes used equal amounts of flour and cornstarch, rather than just flour, to coat the steaks. The cornstarch fried up crispier, especially at the edges of the crust.
Great Pairings
Mashed Potato Loaf
If you want to make this loaf but do not have mashed potatoes on hand, use instant mashed potatoes. You will save money in addition to saving the time required to peel, boil, and mash the potatoes.
