    Preheat oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/circulating air: 180 °C/gas: see manufacturer). Put sea salt on a baking tray. Wash the potatoes thoroughly (you don't need to rub them dry this time!) and spread them on the baking tray.

    Drain the capers and stir into the quark together with the diced tomatoes. Sprinkle with some pepper. Put it in a cold place.

  5. 5

    For the garlic butter, peel the garlic and chop finely. Butter, approx. 1⁄3 Mix garlic and lemon peel. Season with salt. For the paprika salsa, clean and wash the chillies, cut them in half lengthwise, remove the seeds and chop them coarsely.

  6. 6

    Drain the roasted peppers. Put them into a high mixing bowl with chilli and the rest of the garlic and puree them finely with a hand blender. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour dips and butter into bowls.
