3 Regional German Mashed Potatoes - Traditional Variations That Are Nothing Like Yours!

German mashed potatoes are a lot more interesting than they look at first glance. In this video, we’re diving into three traditional dishes that show just how creative German cuisine can be: Teerdisch, Labskaus, and Himmel und Erde. Each of these German potato mash varieties comes from a different regional background and tells a different story.
