a favorite recipe from my childhood

Peel the potatoes and cut into strips (like chips), then pat dry with a cloth or paper towel. Heat a pan with oil and add the potatoes. Finely chop a medium onion and scatter it on top. Once they are browned, add the water, stock, bay leaf, and cloves. Don’t forget to stir occasionally. While the potatoes are cooking, mix the cream cheese and crème fraîche in a bowl. Puree the herbs with a splash of water. Once the potatoes are tender, add the cream cheese mixture, passata, and herbs. Season to taste with pepper, nutmeg, curry powder, and salt, and let the sauce heat through. If you don’t have any fresh herbs on hand, you can also use dried herbs; add them to the cooking water. This goes well with a fresh salad or fish, for example.
