Summer is currently in its full glory – besides hot days in the green and mild nights on the balcony, it also has a lot to offer in terms of culinary delights: Because a wide range of different vegetables and fruits are ripening around us right now! Among them is the cucumber, which is ready to be picked: Green, crunchy, and full of vitamins, it makes a good figure in a variety of dishes.

Everything you need for this and many different types of cucumbers are now available at gurkerl.at!

This variation of the classic potato cheese is made even more refined by a few finely chopped, slightly sour pickles. Ideal for the next picnic or simply as a small snack with fresh pastries. So delicious, the people sitting next to you will surely turn green with envy!

Wash the potatoes and cook them in salted water until soft. Peel and press them through a potato ricer. Finely chop the chives and onion. Finely chop the pickles. Mix all the ingredients together and season with salt, pepper, a bit of caraway, and paprika. 

Tip: If you prefer a finer or milder taste, you can either blanch the chopped onions in water or sauté them in a spoonful of butter until translucent.
