Steps:
- Line a cutting board with plastic wrap, place cutlets in a single layer on cutting board and cover with plastic wrap (this prevents splatter). Pound cutlets with a meat mallet or the back of a heavy saucepan, until 1/4" to 1/8" thick.
- Set up three bowls. In the first combine 1/3 cup flour, 1 Tbsp garlic salt, 1/2 tsp paprika and 1/2 tsp pepper. In the second, use a fork to beat 3 eggs. In the third bowl, add 2 cups panko crumbs.
- Dredge both sides of each pounded cutlet in flour then dip in beaten egg letting excess egg drip back into the bowl before breading in panko crumbs. It helps to use a fork for the dipping process to keep your hands clean. Repeat with remaining cutlets.
- Once all cutlets are breaded, heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Once oil is hot, add breaded cutlets a few at a time and sauté 3-4 min per side or until cooked through. Reduce heat if browning too quickly. Remove to paper towel lined plate. Cut into one to check doneness - juices should run clear. Serve with lemon wedges, or ranch for children.

Steps:
- Sprinkle the pork with 2 tablespoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Fill a heavy large pot with 4 inches of oil. Attach a deep-fry thermometer and heat to 350 degrees F.
- Cut each tenderloin in half crosswise to make 4 equal pieces. Using a sharp knife, cut slices across each tenderloin, about 1/2-inch apart going as deep as possible but without cutting all the way through.
- Put the panko, flour and eggs into 3 separate medium bowls. Working 1 piece at time, dredge each piece of pork in the flour, making sure to get flour into each slit. Shake off excess and then dip into the egg, making sure to coat the entire surface and slits. Let excess drip off and then dredge in the panko, patting down to get the panko to adhere and pushing and coating each of the slits. Repeat with the remaining pieces of pork.
- Working in 2 batches, fry the breaded pork until golden brown and crispy, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined platter and let drain for 10 minutes. Serve with sauerkraut and spicy brown mustard.

Tips:
- Use thin-sliced pork loin or pork tenderloin for the schnitzel. This will help it cook evenly and quickly.
- Pounding the pork cutlets helps to tenderize them and makes them more receptive to the breading.
- Use a light hand when breading the schnitzel. Too much breading will make it heavy and greasy.
- Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying the schnitzel. This will help it to brown evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the schnitzel. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the schnitzel will not cook properly.
- Serve the schnitzel immediately with your favorite sides.
