Pellkartoffeln mit Fruhlingsquark (peeled potatoes with spring quark)

Didn’t find an english recipe, so:

Mix the quark with chives and parsley. Add diced radishes and cucumbers, green onions. Maybe tiny bits of something ham-like.  
Boil new potatoes with peels on. At the table, strip the peels off and put the souped-up quark on the potatoes.

It’s just such a rubbery, inorganic name to apply to a white cheesy comestible.

Gah, I keep reading the thread title as “Recipes with _snark_” and wonder why they’d be so pissy over food.

Oh.

I thought it was a breakfast cereal from the 70s, but apparently not.

I once saw a really good recipe for some sweet Austrian Quark Noodles/Dumplings. Just a really rich dumpling noodle with the creamy cheese to fortify- boiled and then tossed and finished with some toasted black bread crumbs, fresh butter, and cinnamon sugar.

In the same vein, the quark noodles would just make a Kugel more delicious, gourmet, and upscale.
