Pellkartoffeln mit Kräuterquark is a simple but beloved dish of German everyday and Lenten cooking: soft potatoes with a cool, fresh herb quark. All it needs is good potatoes and fresh herbs. Light, cheap and quick.
Wash the potatoes well and put them in a pot with their skins on, covered with cold salted water.
Bring to a boil, then simmer over low heat for 20-25 minutes until easily pierced with a fork.
Meanwhile, mix the quark with the yoghurt until creamy.
Add the finely chopped herbs, garlic and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
Let it rest in the fridge for 10 minutes so the flavours meld.
Drain the potatoes and serve warm with the quark and a slice of butter.

Tips
Use small, waxy potatoes, as they do not fall apart in cooking.
Start the potatoes in cold water so they cook evenly.
Add as many fresh herbs to the quark as will fit – that is what makes it really fresh.
