Ingredients
- 2 lb small waxy potatoes, unpeeled
- 1.5 cups quark (fresh curd cheese)
- 3 tbsp milk
- 3 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
How to cook it
- Scrub the potatoes and boil them whole in their skins in salted water for 20 minutes, until fork-tender.
- Meanwhile, stir the quark with the milk and olive oil until smooth and spoonable.
- Fold the chives, parsley, and dill into the quark and season with the salt and pepper.
- Drain the potatoes and let them cool for a couple of minutes before peeling, or leave the skins on if you prefer.
- Divide the potatoes among plates with a generous scoop of the herbed quark; this simple combination is one of the most common vegetarian weeknight dinners in Germany.
