Baked Potatoes with Quark - Blechkartoffeln mit Kräuterquark

By Jennifer McGavin, About.com

An easy potato dished often served as an entrée for a meatless menu. Serve them with a green salad.

Serves 4

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 8 medium potatoes, washed and halved lengthwise
  • 3 T olive oil
  • 1 T butter, melted
  • 2 T caraway seeds
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

Pre-heat oven to 350°F and grease a cookie sheet large enough for your potatoes with a little of the olive oil. Brush the cut-side of the potatoes with a mixture of butter and olive oil and lay them, cut side up, on the cookie sheet. Sprinkle with caraway, salt and pepper. Bake for about 40 minutes or until a fork pierces them easily.

Serve with Herbed Quark.

Variation:
Baked Potatoes with Marjoram

Great for your next potluck.

Instead of caraway, sprinkle each potato with freshly chopped marjoram, 1 tsp sunflower seeds and 1 T shredded gruyere cheese. Bake as directed. May be served without quark as a side dish. Serve warm or room temperature.
