Pork Milanese

When we travel in Europe, one of the things that I look forward to in Italian restaurants is Pork Milanese. It's very similar to a schnitzel, but tends to be breaded with Panko as opposed to regular bread crumbs. In Europe, Pork Milanese generally served with Spaghetti Bolognese. I, however, decided to serve it with Susan's favorite - Roasted Potatoes and Onions.
