Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Scrub the 500g potatoes and place in a pot with 1 tsp salt. Cover with cold water, bring to a boil, then simmer until fork-tender, about 20 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    While potatoes cook, mix the 250g quark with 2 tbsp chopped chives, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Stir until smooth and creamy.

  3. Step 3

    Drain the potatoes and let them steam dry for 2 minutes. Serve hot with the quark dip on the side.
