When you grow up in Wisconsin, potato salad is a fairly common salad. But the "German Potato Salad" I had growing up was...not...what I ate in Germany.
I wonder if the recipes that so many of German heritage here in Wisconsin enjoy are from the generations that immigrated to the US?
I ate a lot of Kartoffelsalat in Germany. As in two servings (at least) at any party I went to. Except for one, that one Kartoffelsalat was not good. It was that bad that I remember it 15 years later. As we say here in Wisconsin: Uff-da.
But the best Kartoffelsalat I ever had, well, today's your lucky day because this is it. Remember that cooking something like potato salad is an art, not a science. Follow the recipe and try it multiple times - you'll get it down after you've made it a few times.

Have you ever had a Grillabend (grill evening)? If you haven't, there are two condiments that stand out the most: Soßen und Kräuterbutter. Sauces and herbed butter. Sauces are fun, like Curryketchup and BBQ sauce. But Kräuterbutter? Now that speaks to my dairy-consuming, Wisconsin-raised heart.
What is Kräuterbutter?
Kräuterbutter is simply a bunch of butter mixed with several herbs and some salt. It's really easy to make, easy to enjoy, and sehr, sehr lecker on grilled meats and vegetables.
You can also enjoy it with baguette, which is frequently on the table on a Grillabend.

Juhu! Ausgezeichnet! Ich hab's geschafft!
Seven Years in Business!
In any business there are highs and lows. Sometimes they are close together, like heartbeats, and sometimes they are stretched out over a length of time.
There are no highlights without lowlights and I’ve included them both in this list. In seven years a lot happens in any business, so I’ve selected seven of them for you today.
The Highlights and the Lowlights of the First Seven Years of GermanWithNicole.com
#1 Highlight: The new logo, brand colors, and fonts
The logo and the graphics looks and feel so fresh, they represent my business, and it’s so much more accessible for people to read and to enjoy. I mean come on, it's a flower, flowers make everybody happy!

What are they, noodles? Dumplings?
It doesn't matter--it's SPÄTZLE!
I don't believe you've really had German food until you've had homemade Spätzle.
Maybe you've tried dried Spätzle noodles? They're ok. You can find them at ALDI several times a year here.
Spätzle at many Germanic restaurants here is usually pre-made and then reheated in a pan. They're ok but usually they dry out quickly and then they're tough to eat.
The best Spätzle are made at home. They take time, it's effort, and if you use a Schäberle your arm might get really tired. Spätzle also take practice to make really well, and it is very much worth the effort!
You'll need this recipe, a few tools (you probably have some of them already) and some time. Gut Ding will Weile haben. Good things take time.

Diese Woche machen Privatkunden eine besondere Aktivität, anstatt den normalen Unterricht zu haben. Sie backen, kochen oder machen ein deutsches Rezept (oder ein österreichisches oder ein schweizerisches Rezept) und schreiben etwas darüber.
Deutsches Essen zu machen ist auch Deutsch lernen. :)
Und Sie dürfen diese Woche mitmachen!
Diese Woche lesen Sie hier drei Rezepte für typische, deutsche Gerichte und es gibt sogar Rezeptkarten, die Sie herunterladen und ausdrucken können. Alles ist auf Deutsch und auf Englisch, also können Sie kochen und Deutsch lernen.
Wenn Sie ein Rezept kochen, dann schreiben Sie einen Kommentar! Wir würden uns freuen zu sehen, was Sie gekocht oder gebacken haben. Morgen geht's los.
