The recipe was great! We had to use a different kind of potato and it must have been softer because instead of German Potato Salad we had Mashed German Potatoes. But the flavors and textures were still excellent! Thanks for the recipe!! -
This had a good beef flavor and we did like it, but it was too sweet for us and a little bit plain. Adding extra vinegar, pepper and parsley, and some (low fat) bacon bits did bring it closer to our expectation. -
I thought this was good, and DH really enjoyed it. I'm not sure I'm super-familiar with the flavor we were going for, but per DH it tasted pretty authentic :). I did have to use chicken broth b/c it was all I had; I imagine beef or veg would make a big difference. For what it's worth, I personally preferred the recipe served lukewarm. -
A superb recipe, my husband loved it - he hankers after German style cooking having lived there for 20 years! I did make a substitution - we did not have beef broth, so I made up some vegetable broth with Marigold Swiss vegetable bouillon stock, which is low in fat and salt free. I also used corn flour rather than flour in this recipe as well. I did make it ahead, and it did heat up beautifully in the microwave. Thanks for a lovely recipe Chef at Heart - this is a keeper for us! (I am sorry, NO photos, we had a power cut and my batteries died - I could not re-charge them before we ate the potatoes!! Next time!)

Hi,
I am currently taking my masters in social work, but cooking is my passion. I just would not be able to stand the hours working in a restaurant. I would never see my husband. So I am an amateur chef. I judge cooking contests like the Canadian national BBQ tournament etc. and love cooking for friends and family. I have a cookbook in process. Who knows if I will ever try to publish it but I will definitely give it as gifts to friends and family. My favourite parties to host are theme parties eg. I Okboberfest, Mexican and Thai etc. I generally do the research and each person can either choose from the recipes I have found or bring one of their own. I like to give the option since a lot of people don't necessarily have any recipes for that particular theme party.
Anyway its fun. I nice break from University and a really good excuse to get together with friends and family.
My other favourite things are gardening, knitting, sports and fitness. I also volunteer for a nursing home working with altzheimers and senile dementia patients, and for big sisters and I work part time for Planned Family Networks matching young adults with mental and / or physical challenges with a network of people they can count on when their parents can no longer take care of them.
FYI This was the only day I've ever had straight hair. It was great while it lasted but I'm not spending an hour staightening it whan I can shower and do practically nothing by leaving it curly.
