Potato spread with herbs

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 400 g potatoes
• 100 g onion(s)
• 1 clove(s) garlic
• 50 g butter
• 100 g sour cream
• 1 tbsp parsley
• ½ tbsp basil
• some marjoram
• 2 tbsp chives
• salt and pepper
• nutmeg

Instructions

Working time approx. 45 minutes; Rest time approx. 3 hours; Total time approx. 3 hours 45 minutes

Boil or steam the potatoes in their skins, peel them while still hot, and mash them finely with a potato ricer or a fork. While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the onions and sauté them in butter with crushed garlic until translucent. Add the cooled onions, sour cream, and chopped herbs to the potato mixture. Season with marjoram, pepper, nutmeg, and herb salt, and let cool. This spread tastes best when left to stand for a few hours and served chilled. It will keep in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. As a variation, 150g of diced tart apples can be sautéed with the onions. Instead of the onions, 150g of diced vegetables or 100g of sautéed leeks also work very well.
