Say this to the waiter (German)
Bitte keine Kartoffeln. Ist die Sauce Hollandaise frisch, nur mit Butter/Eigelb, ohne Mehl, Stärke und Zuckerzusatz?
No potatoes, please. Is the Hollandaise freshly made with butter/egg yolks, no flour, starch, or added sugar?
Watch out for
Traditional potato side, hidden sugars in pre-made Hollandaise sauces, a small amount of sugar added for seasoning.
