Potato cake Döppekuchen

Hearty dishes from the oven

In the Rhineland, Döbbekuchen or Döpekooche is one of the traditional dishes. Grated potatoes are baked in the oven together with smoked bacon (Dürrfleisch). A cast-iron pot “en Döpp” is usually used for this.

The originally simple dish (as in our recipe) is modified in many ways depending on the region and family. For example, 3 layers of potatoes are used, and in between they are topped with the ends of the mead and bacon.
This meal is eaten in the northern Rhineland-Palatinate and southern North Rhine-Westphalia.

A similar dish with the same basic ingredients exists in Saarland and is called Schales. It is also an integral part of Saarland cuisine.
