Ingredients for 3 servings:

• 500 g jacket potatoes
• 500 g low-fat curd cheese

• 3 tbsp sugar
• 70 g raisins
• 1 tbsp vanilla sugar

• ½ lemon(s), zest
• n. B. Fat for frying

Instructions

Working time approx. 25 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 35 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour

with little sugar and flour

It is best to let the low-fat quark drain overnight using a sieve and cheesecloth or something similar. Boil the potatoes in salted water and, while still warm, mash them into small pieces using a potato ricer or masher. Allow the potato mixture to cool completely. If you like, you can also use leftover potatoes from the day before. Mix the potato mixture with the quark, flour, sugar, raisins (you can also soak the raisins in rum beforehand), lemon zest and egg yolk using a hand mixer or a wooden spoon and form about 7-8 large quark balls. Heat a pan with enough fat and fry the hand-formed quark balls until golden brown. If you like, you can enjoy the quark balls with apple sauce, jam or simply with powdered sugar. A little tip: you can also eat the quark balls savory. To do this, leave out the sugar, vanilla sugar and raisins. Instead, you can use them, for example. B mixed with bacon and cheese or finely chopped peppers and of course salt/pepper.
