German Potato Salad

A southern-German potato salad (Kartoffelsalat) dressed while warm with vinegar, mustard, and bacon instead of mayo. The tangy, savory dressing soaks right into the potatoes. A hearty side that pairs beautifully with sausages and schnitzel.

Soft Pretzel

Germany's iconic knotted bread: chewy dough twisted into shape, dipped in a baking-soda bath, sprinkled with coarse salt, and baked to a deep brown. Dark and chewy outside, soft within — best warm with mustard.

Spatzle (Cheese Spatzle)

Southern German egg noodles scraped fresh into boiling water, then layered with melting cheese and topped with crispy fried onions — kasespatzle. Rich and cozy enough to be called German mac and cheese, and you don't even need special tools.

Currywurst

Germany's iconic street food: fried sausage sliced and smothered in a curry-spiced ketchup sauce. Born in Berlin, it takes just ketchup and curry powder and 10 minutes to make.
