Molly Yeh is hosting Oktoberfest in the Midwest and making all her favorite German-inspired dishes. She starts with Soft Pretzels two ways: Salty with Beer Cheese and Sweet with Cinnamon Sugar. Her main dish is the ultimate crispy Chicken Schnitzel, and she makes a mustardy German Potato Salad loaded with bacon and a beautiful Braised Red Cabbage to serve on the side.
