We were invited today to go to an Oktoberfest Party and of course the side dish had to be German. I went on foodnetwork and tried to figure out what in the world I was going to make. Here it is ! Delicious. I made some of my own changes to make it my way and a lil healthier. It was a hit! I also DOUBLED the whole recipe and it was just perfect for a party. Hope u enjoy.
