Did not see this recipe anywhere on Allrecipes and, as it's been a huge favorite here for years, I decided to post it. Dazzling with a nice steak! Serve year round. Turkey bacon and fat-free mayo may be substituted, though keep in mind that both will sacrifice a bit of taste. :)

Tips:

  • For the best potato salad, use waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss. They hold their shape better when cooked and won't become mushy in the salad.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are just tender. Overcooked potatoes will become too soft and fall apart in the salad.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the other ingredients for the salad. Chop the cucumbers, celery, and onion. Hard-boil the eggs and chop them as well.
  • Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and let them cool slightly. Then, add them to a large bowl and mash them with a fork or potato masher until they are coarsely mashed.
  • Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl with the potatoes and stir to combine. Season the salad with salt, pepper, and mayonnaise to taste.
  • Cover the salad and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill.
  • Garnish the salad with fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or dill before serving.

Conclusion:

Potato salad with cucumbers is a classic summer side dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.
