Mashed Potatoes with Cucumber
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Cook: 20 min.
YIELD: 2 servings.
The first time I tasted this combination was 53 years ago at my mother-in-law's house. My husband assured me I'd love this side dish and he was right. I changed the recipe slightly and like to make it with the first crop of Vidalia onions.
