Step 1
Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover completely with cold water, and set the pot on the stove over high heat until water boils rapidly, about 8 minutes.
Step 2
Reduce heat to medium so the water bubbles gently and cook the potatoes until a fork slides through the largest potato with no resistance, about 12 minutes.
Step 3
Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them cool at room temperature for 2 minutes.
Step 4
Spoon the quark into a small bowl, then stir in the chopped chives, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined and taste to adjust seasoning.
Step 5
Divide the warm potatoes between two plates or bowls and serve the quark dip alongside, using it as a spread or sauce for each potato.
