Peel the potatoes and cut into small cubes. Trim and finely dice the vegetables and onion. Fry the potatoes and vegetables in 1 tablespoon of oil, deglaze with enough vegetable stock to just cover the potatoes, and cook with the bay leaf, lovage, salt, and pepper for about 20 minutes. Lightly mash the potatoes and add the diced cucumber. Add the curry, caraway, and chili pepper (piri-piri), sugar, and a little of the cucumber juice, and season with salt, pepper, vinegar, mustard, and sugar. Simmer briefly again and let it infuse. Sprinkle some chopped parsley on top before serving. I like to serve it with a boiled egg or a Wienerle sausage. For WW: Potatoes 4 points or by the gram! per person + 0.5 points for oil!
