the perfect side dish for any buffet. Potato salad is great to prepare in advance and comes into its own when it has had the necessary time to soak up flavours.

A dough is mixed from a mixture of raw and cooked grated potatoes, together with eggs and cream. Half of it goes into an ovenproof, greased mold. Traditionally, a few pierced \u201cMettenden\u201d (a type of pork sausage) are stuck into this potato layer (smoked tofu can be used instead of meat, but a little more fat or oil is needed then), then the remaining potato mixture is added on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/doeppekooche-westdeutschland-deutsches-gericht-c-shutterstock-Hans-Joachim-Schneider-683x1024.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/doeppekooche-westdeutschland-deutsches-gericht-c-shutterstock-Hans-Joachim-Schneider-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"On a plate lies a piece of D\u00f6ppekooche, a popular potato dish from Germany.\" class=\"wp-image-17458\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/doeppekooche-westdeutschland-deutsches-gericht-c-shutterstock-Hans-Joachim-Schneider-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/doeppekooche-westdeutschland-deutsches-gericht-c-shutterstock-Hans-Joachim-Schneider-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/doeppekooche-westdeutschland-deutsches-gericht-c-shutterstock-Hans-Joachim-Schneider-883x1324.jpg 883w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/doeppekooche-westdeutschland-deutsches-gericht-c-shutterstock-Hans-Joachim-Schneider-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/doeppekooche-westdeutschland-deutsches-gericht-c-shutterstock-Hans-Joachim-Schneider-293x439.jpg 293w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/doeppekooche-westdeutschland-deutsches-gericht-c-shutterstock-Hans-Joachim-Schneider-770x1155.jpg 770w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/doeppekooche-westdeutschland-deutsches-gericht-c-shutterstock-Hans-Joachim-Schneider.jpg 1167w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/doeppekooche-westdeutschland-deutsches-gericht-c-shutterstock-Hans-Joachim-Schneider-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"On a plate lies a piece of D\u00f6ppekooche, a popular potato dish from Germany.\" class=\"wp-image-17458\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/doeppekooche-westdeutschland-deutsches-gericht-c-shutterstock-Hans-Joachim-Schneider-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/doeppekooche-westdeutschland-deutsches-gericht-c-shutterstock-Hans-Joachim-Schneider-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/doeppekooche-westdeutschland-deutsches-gericht-c-shutterstock-Hans-Joachim-Schneider-883x1324.jpg 883w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/doeppekooche-westdeutschland-deutsches-gericht-c-shutterstock-Hans-Joachim-Schneider-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/doeppekooche-westdeutschland-deutsches-gericht-c-shutterstock-Hans-Joachim-Schneider-293x439.jpg 293w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/doeppekooche-westdeutschland-deutsches-gericht-c-shutterstock-Hans-Joachim-Schneider-770x1155.jpg 770w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/doeppekooche-westdeutschland-deutsches-gericht-c-shutterstock-Hans-Joachim-Schneider.jpg 1167w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">&#8220;D\u00f6ppekoche&#8221; | Image: Hans-Joachim Schneider \/ shutterstock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole thing is put in the oven and baked thoroughly. Then the mold is tilted and the exciting moment has arrived. If you haven&#8217;t added enough fat or turned up the oven too much, the potato mixture will stick to the mold. If the overturn works, however, you have a delicious-tasting, firm potato cake in front of you. The \u201cPotthucke\u201d is served sliced.

First, one side is fried until golden brown, then the r\u00f6sti is turned over with the help of a plate and fried on the other side. It&#8217;s best to use a medium heat to prevent it from sticking. Turning it over is the hardest part. As a rule, no egg is added to a r\u00f6sti; instead, the potato&#8217;s own starch, combined with the heat, acts as a binding agent. The r\u00f6sti will only hold its shape once it is cooked on both sides. Traditionally, it is served with sliced meat in a cream sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kl\u00f6\u00dfe\/Kn\u00f6del (potato dumplings)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This potato dish is a must on every festive table: the good old potato dumpling. A dough made from cooked, finely pressed potatoes is formed into round balls and then boiled again in simmering water. In Germany, umpteen different varieties have been developed, from <strong>bread dumplings <\/strong>with bread cubes to <strong>stuffed dumplings <\/strong>with a savory filling. Either way, the dumpling is the perfect companion for any sauce and happily absorbs it. But we still love to eat our dumplings at Christmas time with lots of red cabbage, as it is one of the most liked German potato dishes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/potato-dish-dumplings-cabbage-goose-c-juefraphoto-shutterstock.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/potato-dish-dumplings-cabbage-goose-c-juefraphoto-shutterstock-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"A portion of potato dumplings with red cabbage and goose leg, one of the most liked German potato dishes\" class=\"wp-image-17454\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/potato-dish-dumplings-cabbage-goose-c-juefraphoto-shutterstock-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/potato-dish-dumplings-cabbage-goose-c-juefraphoto-shutterstock-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/potato-dish-dumplings-cabbage-goose-c-juefraphoto-shutterstock-883x589.jpg 883w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/potato-dish-dumplings-cabbage-goose-c-juefraphoto-shutterstock-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/potato-dish-dumplings-cabbage-goose-c-juefraphoto-shutterstock-1155x770.jpg 1155w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/potato-dish-dumplings-cabbage-goose-c-juefraphoto-shutterstock-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/potato-dish-dumplings-cabbage-goose-c-juefraphoto-shutterstock-770x513.jpg 770w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/potato-dish-dumplings-cabbage-goose-c-juefraphoto-shutterstock-293x195.jpg 293w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/potato-dish-dumplings-cabbage-goose-c-juefraphoto-shutterstock-1400x934.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/potato-dish-dumplings-cabbage-goose-c-juefraphoto-shutterstock.jpg 1750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/potato-dish-dumplings-cabbage-goose-c-juefraphoto-shutterstock-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"A portion of potato dumplings with red cabbage and goose leg, one of the most liked German potato dishes\" class=\"wp-image-17454\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/potato-dish-dumplings-cabbage-goose-c-juefraphoto-shutterstock-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/potato-dish-dumplings-cabbage-goose-c-juefraphoto-shutterstock-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/potato-dish-dumplings-cabbage-goose-c-juefraphoto-shutterstock-883x589.jpg 883w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/potato-dish-dumplings-cabbage-goose-c-juefraphoto-shutterstock-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/potato-dish-dumplings-cabbage-goose-c-juefraphoto-shutterstock-1155x770.jpg 1155w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/potato-dish-dumplings-cabbage-goose-c-juefraphoto-shutterstock-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/potato-dish-dumplings-cabbage-goose-c-juefraphoto-shutterstock-770x513.jpg 770w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/potato-dish-dumplings-cabbage-goose-c-juefraphoto-shutterstock-293x195.jpg 293w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/potato-dish-dumplings-cabbage-goose-c-juefraphoto-shutterstock-1400x934.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/potato-dish-dumplings-cabbage-goose-c-juefraphoto-shutterstock.jpg 1750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image: juefraphoto \/ shutterstock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kartoffelsuppe (potato soup)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It may not sound like a specialty to some, but it is: the humble potato soup.
