Oma’s potato recipes highlight the heartiness and versatility of this German favorite. From crispy fried potatoes to warm salads, dumplings, and soups, these classic dishes bring comfort and flavor to every meal.
In Germany, the potato isn’t just a side dish—it’s almost a national obsession. Ever since King Frederick the Great “convinced” us to eat them (long story), we’ve been hooked. Boiled, mashed, fried, baked, dumplinged—there’s no wrong way to kartoffel.
With over 270 varieties grown in Germany, we take our spuds seriously. And I’ll be honest ... a meal without potatoes? That’s not a meal—it’s a missed opportunity. Whether it’s a suppe, crispy bratkartoffeln, or my lecker kartoffelsalat, potatoes have earned their spot at every table—and in every Oma’s heart.
These German potato dumplings are the perfect side dish -- soft, fluffy, and full of authentic flavor.
Whether you make them with raw or cooked potatoes, these classic dumplings pair beautifully with rich gravies, roasts, or even just a bit of butter.
Give them a try and bring a true taste of German tradition to your table!
Tschüss,
