Check potatoes for doneness by poking them with a knife; they should be soft.

Let potatoes cool slightly before peeling them using a potato pick or knife.

In a bowl, add quark and mix in a little milk to soften it.

Chop fresh herbs: parsley, dill, and chives, and add them to the quark mixture.

Season the quark mixture with a little salt to taste.

Combine the mashed potatoes with the quark mixture and generously drizzle flaxseed oil over the top.
