Ingredients

• 500 g Potatoes, cooked (from the day before)
• 1 pc Onion
• 1 pc Egg
• 2 tbsp Cornstarch
• 1 tsp Salt
• Black pepper, freshly ground
• 3 tbsp Frying oil
• 200 g Low-fat quark
• 1 bunch Chives, fresh

Method

1. Take the cooked potatoes out of the fridge, ideally cold, and grate them coarsely.
2. Peel the onion, finely dice it and mix it in a bowl with the potatoes, the egg, the cornstarch, salt and pepper.
3. Finely chop the chives and stir half of them into the quark, then season with salt and pepper.
4. Heat the oil in a large nonstick pan over medium heat.
5. Shape the potato mixture into flat patties in portions and add them to the pan. Fry each for about 4 to 5 minutes, until the underside is golden brown and crispy.
6. Flip the rösti and fry for another 4 to 5 minutes until crispy on both sides. Let them drain briefly on kitchen paper.
7. Serve the rösti with the herb quark and the remaining chives, and serve immediately.
