3 tbsp milk
3 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped

How to cook it

Scrub the potatoes and boil them whole in their skins in salted water for 20 minutes, until fork-tender.
Meanwhile, stir the quark with the milk and olive oil until smooth and spoonable.
Fold the chives, parsley, and dill into the quark and season with the salt and pepper.
Drain the potatoes and let them cool for a couple of minutes before peeling, or leave the skins on if you prefer.
Divide the potatoes among plates with a generous scoop of the herbed quark; this simple combination is one of the most common vegetarian weeknight dinners in Germany.
