This recipe was delicious, and easy to make! I followed the recipe exactly. I used milk. They were very moist. I served them with mashed potatoes and gravy. Will definitely be making these again and again! Thanks!

I was pleasantly surprised by how large the cutlets were. They are very generous portions instead of small patties. We found them very mild in flavor with the dill providing a nice hint in the background. The mixture is very soft even after chilling. I cooked at 300 degrees in an electric skillet, turning twice. I thought these would also be good topped with sauteed mushrooms and cheese and served in a bun too. Thank you for sharing your recipe!
