First wash and cook the potatoes, peel them off after cooling and press them through a potato press.
Wash the chives and cut into small rolls, peel and dice the onion and dice the pickled cucumber.
Add the chives, onions and cucumber with the sour cream, mustard and diced ham to the potato mixture. Season to taste with salt, pepper and the paprika powder.
If the mass is too firm, stir with a little water until creamy.
The cream is also suitable for filling tomatoes and peppers, as an accompaniment to large mushrooms or as a dip.
