Ingredients for 4 servings:

For the thalers:

500 g potatoes, floury
250 g quark 20% fat
1 egg
50 g sugar
120 g wheat flour type 405
1 orange
1 vanilla pod
1 cinnamon stick
Some vegetable oil for frying
For the caramel sauce
200 g sugar
100 ml cream
100 ml water
Salt and pepper

Preparation:

Potato Thaler:

1. Peel the potatoes and boil them with the cinnamon stick in water for about 25 minutes. Then drain and mash/press with a potato masher or potato ricer to a smooth mash. Place the mixture in a bowl to cool.

2. Cut the vanilla pod lengthwise and mix the pulp with the curd, sugar, egg and the zest of an orange.

3. Gradually fold in with a wooden spoon the quark mixture and the flour into the mashed potatoes.

4. Shape the potato mixture into evenly shaped taleres and fry them in a coated pan with a little vegetable oil and serve warm.

Caramel sauce:

1. Bring water and sugar to the boil in a saucepan.

2. As soon as the water has evaporated and the sugar forms breaking bubbles, turn the heat to medium. Be careful, the sugar is now extremely hot and can cause dangerous burns.

3. When the sugar has a nice golden colour, add the butter and cream and simmer for another 5-10 minutes until the sugar has completely dissolved. Place the caramel sauce in a bowl in the fridge to cool and pour over the potato tartlets. Pour over the potato taler.
