GURKENSALAT (GERMAN CUCUMBER SALAD)

A traditional German favorite that I have loved since I was a child. This recipe is quick, easy, and delicious. Substitute cider vinegar for a different flavor. I prefer to leave the skins on the cucumbers for more texture and flavor, but they can also be peeled prior to slicing if desired. Flavor is best when marinated for several hours before serving.

  • Bratkartoffeln (Fried Potatoes) Germans love their potatoes. In fact, potatoes are a classic part of any German meal. German potatoes are a lot similar to red potatoes, which are smooth and creamy, unlike Idaho Russet potatoes.
  • Kartoffelbrei (Mashed Potatoes) Next up on our list of German potato sides is the kartoffelbrei, or mashed potatoes. They don’t have the same level of fame as bratkartoffeln, but they’re just as tasty.
  • Kroketten (Also Mashed Potatoes) Kroketten are breadcrumb-coated, then deep-fried mashed potatoes. From that description alone, you can already tell how rich and hearty this side dish is!
  • Himmel und Erde (yet another version of Mashed Potatoes) The term himmel and urde literally means heaven and earth. It’s another variation of mashed potatoes, where the creamy side is paired with apple sauce.
  • Kartoffelsalat (Potato Salad) Kartoffelsalat, or the German potato salad, is another classic side dish in German cuisine. It’s not the same as the American potato salad we know and love, though.
  • Pellkartoffeln (Boiled Potatoes) Pellkartoffeln is another potato dish that involves boiled potatoes with their skins intact. Leaving the skins on makes the dish more flavorful and nutritious.
  • Salzkartoffeln (Also Boiled Potatoes) This is basically a variation of the pellkartoffeln, where the potatoes are boiled with water infused with salt and parsley.
  • Kartoffelpuffer (Potato Pancakes) Kartoffelpuffer (which, by the way, is so fun to say) is a German potato pancake. The ubiquitous side dish is not only a staple at home, but is also a popular restaurant and street food offering.
  • Klösse (Potato Balls) These savory, bite-sized potato balls are another popular German side dish. Klösse is made by combining shredded and mashed potatoes, which are then boiled and shaped into balls.
  • Pommes (French Fries) Pommes, or German French fries (or should I say German fries?) are the most popular street food side in Germany. This crunchy classic is most commonly served on the side of the schnitzel, a battered and fried meat.
