White Asparagus with Ham and Hollandaise Sauce (No Potatoes)
Yes, with a tweak: absolutely omit the boiled potatoes (Salzkartoffeln). About 6g net carbs per serving, lower than 6 in 10 German dishes.
What it is
A seasonal delicacy featuring tender white asparagus spears, traditionally served with cooked ham and a rich, buttery Hollandaise sauce, modified to exclude high-carb potato sides.
Key ingredients
White asparagus, cooked ham (e.g., Black Forest Ham or boiled ham), Hollandaise sauce (egg yolks, butter, lemon juice, salt, pepper).
How to make it keto
Absolutely omit the boiled potatoes (Salzkartoffeln). Hollandaise sauce is generally keto-friendly, but confirm it's made from scratch with butter and egg yolks, not a pre-made mix with fillers/starches. Ham is typically fine; ensure it's not sugar-glazed.
