Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 35 minutes

a recipe from Saxony and the Ore Mountains

Boil the potatoes with the caraway seeds in salted water, then drain, rinse, and peel. While the potatoes are cooking, season the creamed quark with the finely chopped onion, a pinch of salt, and plenty of freshly chopped herbs. Drizzle the linseed oil over the warm, halved potatoes. Serve with the quark. In the Ore Mountains, not a single Saturday went by for the less well-off without boiled potatoes with linseed oil. Rapeseed grew abundantly here, there were also oil mills, potatoes were affordable, and herbs were picked fresh from the garden bed.
