Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 large large potatoes Make sure to choose firm potatoes for best texture.
  • 1 medium cucumber Wash and remove seeds if large.
  • 1/2 cup sour cream Can substitute with Greek yogurt.
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped Adds aromatic flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice Freshly squeezed is preferable.
  • to taste Salt and pepper Adjust to your preference.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by washing the two large potatoes. Place them in a pot and fill it with water, ensuring they’re fully submerged.
  2. Bring the water to a boil and cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. A fork should easily pierce through them.
  3. Once cooked, remove them from boiling water, let them cool for a bit, then peel and cube the potatoes.
  4. While the potatoes cool, grab your cucumber and wash it. Slice it in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds if they’re large.
  5. Chop the cucumber into bite-sized pieces.
Dressing and Mixing
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potatoes and chopped cucumber.
  3. Pour the creamy dressing over the potatoes and cucumbers, folding everything gently together until well coated.
Chilling
  1. For the best flavor, refrigerate the salad for at least 15 minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully together.

Notes

For perfect salad: Substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a tangier dressing. Avoid overcooking the potatoes to keep them firm. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Freeze without dressing for better texture when reheating.
