Our newest favorite coating for pan or oven fried is instant mashed potatoes!! So easy and so good! Mix one egg with 2 tablespoons of milk and mix well. Use double the amount for a larger amount of meat. Dip in liquid, shake off then lay in seasoned mashed potatoes (they come that way usually) pat, turn over and pat in potatoes again. You could also put the potatoe flakes in a bag and shake with the meat.
This is especially delicious on fish.
