Preparation

8 min.

Step by step recipe

Step 1 - ⌛ 5 min.

Peel, rinse and chop 1 spring onion (scallion) finely.

Rinse, dry and chop Parsley and Fresh coriander (cilantro) . The quantities are approximate: say 2-3 tablespoons of each.

Chop the Chives finely, including the flowers if you can to add extra flavour and an attractive touch of colour.

Step 2 - ⌛ 1 min.

Put the herbs into a bowl and add 350 g Greek yoghurt.

Otherwise, you can use cream cheese or unsweetened fromage frais.

Step 3 - ⌛ 1 min.

Add 2 tablespoons herb olive oil (or simply plain olive oil, if you don't have any) and the juice of ½ lemon.

Salt lightly and pepper generously.

Step 4 - ⌛ 1 min.

Mix thoroughly, check the seasoning and it's ready.

Remarks

One interesting possibility with this sauce is the hot-cold contrast: piping-hot baked potatoes, split open with a spoonful of really cold sauce in the middle - simply delightful!

Make plenty at a time, as it is always popular.

Keeping: Several days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.

For potato waffles, the flour in the mixture for the sweet version is replaced with instant dried potato. This is a way of making delicious savoury waffles. Adding ribbons of smoked salmon, like here, turns them into a proper meal, though they can be also be served as an accompaniment.
