Last comments from the Oktoberfest meal. I made the potato salad and the chicken schnitzel on day 2/2. The recipe made way more liquid so i doubled the cooked potatoes. Also, i recommend not cooking the potatoes long – definitely not more than 10 minutes – so that when the hot liquid hits it, the potatoes don’t become mushy. It is a delicious recipe if you get the potato cooking time right. The Chicken Schnitzel was a huge hit and a crowd pleaser. Easy to make as well. The Rouladen was tough when i ate it. i don’t know if i chose the wrong beef for the dish. The sauce on the Rouladen was good though.

Greetings Meggan. Day 1/2 of cooking. I tackled the Rouladen and Braised Red Cabbage today and peeled the potatoes for the potato salad and put it in the refrigerator. I used a Dutch Oven as you recommended and it is a joy! These recipes are complex with many ingredients and many steps and timing is important i found, especially on the braised cabbage. The Rouladen is very good. I tried to add the dill pickle as you suggested and there was no way the meat with jelly roll with it in it, so i discarded it. Great tip with the corn starch to thicken the broth into sauce and it tasted delicious! The braised cabbage was harder for me. I doubted myself the entire time. The outcome is a very pretty dish, except I’m still wondering if my apple slices are too large and I thought the taste was bland. I prefer my German cooked cabbage to be very tangy, Anyway, tomorrow I tackle the potato salad and the chicken schnitzel. Thanks for mentioning what could be made in advance and how to prepare parts of dishes in advance that need to be made the day the food is served.
