Fried Chicken Liver with Onion Mashed Potatoes
Fried chicken liver with onion mashed potatoes is a classic Hungarian dish, a favorite among those who love homely flavors. Despite its simplicity, the dish has a rich flavor profile, thanks to the caramelized onions and juicy liver. As the onions are sautéed in the pan, their sweet, caramelized aroma mixes with the rich aroma of the garlic liver, while the buttery texture of the freshly mashed potatoes perfectly complements the juiciness of the dish. The secret to perfect fried liver is not to overcook it, so the inside remains juicy and tender. This dish can be prepared quickly, making it an ideal choice for a weekday dinner or a quick lunch.

Preparation Steps
1
Peel the potatoes, cut them into large chunks, and boil in salted water for about 20-25 minutes, or until tender.
2
Meanwhile, slice the onions into rings and mince the garlic. Clean the chicken liver and cut it into smaller pieces.
3
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion rings until golden brown. Set aside.
4
In the same skillet, sauté the minced garlic briefly, then add the chicken liver. Season with salt and pepper, and cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, until the liver is cooked through but still juicy inside.
5
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well. Add the butter and milk, and mash coarsely, leaving some lumps for texture. Season with salt to taste.
6
To serve, place the fried chicken liver next to the onion mashed potatoes, and sprinkle with fresh, chopped parsley.
