10 g fresh chives
1 lemon
4 large floury potatoes
80 g spring onions
200 g radishes
125 g rocket
150 g thick sour cream (Schmand)

Preparation

Step completed · 1
Preheat the fan oven to 180 °C. Wash and scrub the potatoes. Prick their skins with a fork and wrap each potato in foil. Place on a baking tray and bake for about 60 min, until a knife slides easily through the flesh.
Step completed · 2
While the potatoes bake, wash and dry the chives and dill. Pick the dill leaves, then finely chop the herbs. Squeeze the lemon and strain its juice into a bowl. Stir in the sour cream, quark, herbs, salt and pepper. Wash and trim the radishes and spring onions. Slice thinly. Wash and spin dry the rocket.
Use for the recipe: half a lemon (prepare 1 lemon).
Step completed · 3
Open the foil parcels and split the potatoes without cutting right through. Spoon all the herb cream over the flesh, then add the radishes, spring onions and rocket. Flake the herring fillets into large pieces and arrange on top. Serve immediately.
