Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Scrub the 800g potatoes and place them in a large pot. Cover with cold water and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until fork-tender, about 20-25 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    While potatoes cook, finely chop the 20g chives, reserving a few for garnish.

  3. Step 3

    In a bowl, combine the 500g quark, 2 tbsp milk, 0.5 tsp salt, 0.25 tsp black pepper, and most of the chopped chives. Stir until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  4. Step 4

    Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly until just warm, about 5 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Serve the herbed quark in a bowl, sprinkled with the reserved chives, alongside the warm potatoes. Enjoy by dipping or spreading.
