    German Sides

    German side dishes should not be underestimated. I have to count my famous homemade pretzels and Obatzda (a Bavarian cheese spread) into this category. But my addictive Pommesgewürz (French fry seasoning, which is really a great all-purpose seasoning) should not be missing, either. Other sides Germans can't live without are my German pasta salad, homemade sauerkraut, Rotkohl (warm red cabbage) and SO MANY more!

    • Easy Käsespätzle (German Cheese Spätzle)
    • Bratkartoffeln (German Pan-Fried Potatoes)

    Hallo! I'm Sophie Sadler, cookbook author of 'The German Home Kitchen', coming this September, and German food blogger at dirndl kitchen since 2015. I am so happy you’re here! 🥨

    I moved from Trier, Germany to the U.S. in 2009 and soon terribly missed the flavors of home. Crusty German bread, flaky pastries, afternoon Kaffee & Kuchen, and, of course, Döner Kebab and pretzels! So, I started sharing my love for German food and traditions with fun, easy-to-follow recipes. Stay a while, bookmark some recipes, and let’s cook together!
