Probably the best known and most popular side dish for Wiener Schnitzel is the Austrian potato salad (Erdäpfelsalat). Our homemade potato salad is prepared according to a traditional recipe – with finely chopped, still-warm potatoes, a light marinade of vinegar, oil, mustard and a pinch of sugar. What makes it special? It is served without mayonnaise, so that its slightly sour and refreshing flavor harmonizes perfectly with the crispy breading of the schnitzel. Every bite combines the buttery, golden-brown crust with the soft, slightly creamy texture of the potato slices – a true classic that should not be missing on any plate.
Another traditional choice is parsley potatoes. Freshly cooked potatoes are peeled, cut into bite-sized pieces and seasoned with finely chopped parsley and a little butter. They are simple but incredibly aromatic and provide a pleasant balance to the hearty schnitzel.
Cucumber salad is also a popular side dish. Thinly sliced cucumber is served in a light sour cream marinade with dill – a refreshing contrast to the spicy schnitzel, especially on hot days.
