Ingredients
- 100 g Potatoes, floury (russet), raw
- 30 g Sour cream
- 15 g Onion
- 3 g Chives, fresh
- 0.3 g Caraway seeds
- 0.5 g Salt
- 0.1 g Black pepper

Method
- Boil the potatoes in their skins for 20-25 minutes until a knife slides in easily. Drain, peel them while still warm and press them through a potato ricer, or mash them very finely with a fork.
- Spread the potato out on a plate and leave it to cool for 30 minutes; the spread is made with cold potato.

- Stir the sour cream, onion, caraway, salt and pepper into the potato until smooth and creamy, then stir in most of the chives. Add a spoonful more sour cream if it is too stiff to spread.
- Taste and add a little more pepper if needed.
- Spread thickly on slices of rye bread and scatter over the rest of the chives.
