3. Star Cook Potato Soup Prepare Yourself

I found my love for potato soup with star chef Heinz Winkler in Aschau.

I will never forget this day because the soup was served with fresh white truffles.

The basket with the white truffles was in the kitchen in the morning and I could smell the truffles, which I didn’t know at that time, one floor below the staff entrance in the underground car park.

This soup was a formative experience for me and I would like to pass on my recipe.

You can prepare a soup with fresh potatoes or with mashed potatoes.

Mashed potatoes? YES! either you use homemade mashed potatoes, freshly prepared or from the day before, or in an emergency you use mashed potato flakes.

In the recipe you will find the corresponding information on the ingredients.

Fresh potato for potato soup and inlay.

Season and mix the potato soup and potato inlay.
