Fried liver served with mashed potatoes and pickles

Fried Chicken Liver with Mashed Potatoes and Pickles

Fried liver with mashed potatoes and pickles is a classic Hungarian dish, a favorite in rural cuisine. Liver has traditionally been a popular ingredient in peasant dishes, as it is inexpensive, nutritious, and quick to prepare. Silky mashed potatoes and pickles are the perfect accompaniment to this simple but delicious dish. As the onions and liver sizzle in the hot skillet, the aromas fill the kitchen, instantly evoking the atmosphere of family lunches. The secret to perfect fried liver is not to overcook it, otherwise it will become dry and tough - that's why a few minutes on each side is enough to keep it soft and juicy inside. This dish is a perfect choice for a quick weeknight dinner or a hearty lunch. The pickles add freshness to the dish, balancing the rich flavor of the liver. It can be served traditionally with cucumbers, pickled peppers, or even coleslaw.

    Preparation Steps

    1

    Thoroughly rinse the chicken liver under cold water, remove any sinew, then pat dry with paper towels.

    2

    Peel the onions and slice them into thin rings. Crush the garlic.

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

    Meanwhile, peel the potatoes, cut them into smaller pieces, and place them in boiling salted water. Cook until tender, about 20 minutes.
