      I grew up in Germany and really jumped the gun on this recipe. I haven’t cooked the German potatoes yet but here’s what I got. Waking up to cravings of this salad I cut up potatoes and used all the ingredients listed, mixed them and poured over cut potatoes. I’m going to have to let them hang out until it’s time for Supper. I hope they turn out. I will keep you posted.

      Loved the recipe.. I did an earlier very positive comment about the Instant Pot recipe.

      Just wondering what adjustment would have to be made to convert it to slow-cooker recipe. I have friends that loved the flavors and wanted the recipe but they do not have an Instant Pot.

      Hi Julia – tried Spaetzle for the first time recently (must admit store bought), and then found your recipe for cheese spaetzle, which I’m making tonight, but just realized that it calls for 1/2 your homemade recipe for the pasta portion. Neither recipe specifies how much this actually is, so I’m going to guess, but would love to know the official true amount to use for next time. Thanks

        Do you mean Schwenkbraten? From your description, it sounds a lot like it! I don’t have a recipe for it, but you should find it if you search for Schwenkbraten on Google.

      Good Morning:
      Writing to you today regarding your White Bread Recipe. You stated to Not use oil sprays. Use a towel to wipe oil on the pan. What is the reason to not use spray?
      Wiping the pan with canola oil or spray canola seems the same to me. I am going to make this bread recipe. Enjoy your site and read it every time you post.
      Thank you for your reply:

        Tom, I don’t recommend using oil spray like pam in baking pans because the additives in the spray ruin the pan over time but you can use a pure oil spray that only contains oil and no other ingredients.

      Hi Julia
      Do you have a recipe for sauerkraut. If we warm it from the tin or packet it is very tart.. I’ve also rinsed it but doesn’t make much difference. We like it with mashed potatoes mustard and German sausage.

      I don’t want to destroy the goodness by over cooking it…
      Regards Rhonda

        Hi Rhonda, I don’t have a recipe for making sauerkraut from scratch but you could try adding some apple juice to the sauerkraut while it warms up.

      my mom made this every summer from the bumper crops from dads garden. the sauce was a bit thicker because she lightly salted the cukes and let them drain some of the water out before adding sour cream sauce. have you ever put them on top of a baked potato? Super yum. If I could only eat one thing for the rest of my life that would be it. thanks for sharing.

      Julia , I would like to say .. good job on your post of Bavaria recipes ! I am living in Bavaria ,and as you know we have recipes you won’t find in other parts of Germany. I am here almost 7 years now , I married a Bavarian man, and these recipes would have been very helpful if I wouldn’t have found them years ago ! It would have saved me a lot of translating , it’s still a work in progress here,, lol. You did a great job with the recipes .. bravo ! Please continue to post so people can enjoy the taste of Bavaria ! My new project is to learn Polish cooking , as you can see from my last name , half of my husbands family is Polish … also wonderful food ! Good luck and happy posting .. I sure will continue to follow you !

      Where is the V slicer sold? Bought one @ LA County Fair 30 yrs ago. Now showing wear. Most other Mandolins & mechanical slicers don’t compare.
      Where, & how much.?

      Hi Julia, I have been trying to find an authentic German recipe for meat loaf. I took my son to his favorite German Restaurant for his birthday and he loved their meatloaf. Can you be of any help with a recipe.

      OH, while I am at it, Oma used to make like a pancake type dough and put jelly in it and roll them up. We would eat them on Fridays, bc as you know they never ate meat on Fridays. lol So if you know what I am talking about, that would be a great recipe to have again too! and some big dumplins like. Karnuddle….maybe?

        The pancakes sound like German Pfannkuchen. Here is a recipe:
        3 cups all-purpose flour
        3 cups milk
        Pinch of salt
        3 large eggs

        Whisk together until the batter gets a few air bubbles on the surface. Refrigerate batter for 30 minutes. Then add a little bit of sparkling water to the batter and whisk again.
        Heat 1 Tbsp in a medium pan over medium-high heat. Fry pancakes on one side until golden brown then flip.

        And the big dumplings, do you mean Knödel or Klöße perhaps? Those are made from potatoes, I’m planning to post a recipe for them in the next few weeks.

      Hi, I am so glad I found your blog! I have found two Christmas cookies my mom and Oma used to make for Christmas. the coconut Macaroons (without the chocolate) and the Vanillekipferl. I am still looking for some, when Mom died the recipes were all in german and we had no one to translate them. In 2000 I lost them all in a house fire. On that mom and Oma made was almost like a butter cookie only different and it was two layers. the top one had a hole in it and there was a teaspoon of jelly on the large cookie and a smaller cookie placed on top. Do you know what I am talking about, or by chance have that recipe? I have no idea what they are called.
      Thank you for your blog and all the great recipes. My mom passed away 25 years ago from cancer and Oma died in 88.
      I look forward to hearing from you!

        Hi Charlotte, so nice to hear from you! I’m so sorry about the house fire, so sad. The cookies you’re describing sound like Spitzbuben, I don’t have a recipe on my site for them yet but here is a recipe that’s from a famous German bakery: https://www.saveur.com/article/Recipes/Raspberry-Jam-Sandwich-Cookies A similar cookie are Linzer Cookies but they’re made with almond flour. I hope that helps! And please don’t hesitate to write me if you need any other German recipes, I’m happy to help! My mother-in-law and my grandmothers have a big collection of old German recipes. – Julia

      Hi Julia-

      Santa was good to me and also brought me an Instant Pot so keep the IP recipes coming. I will be trying the Chili recipe this weekend. I have already made the cheddar potato soup recipe from the recipe book that came with the IP and it is fabulous! After the Chili is the Irish stew. I agree with you that the Instant Pot is so easy and clean (for the kitchen). Thank you.
