Steps:
- Place un-peeled whole potatoes in a medium pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, add 1/2 Tbsp of salt and continue cooking at a medium boil for about 25 minutes or until easily pierced with a fork. Do not overcook - potatoes should not be falling apart when pierced. Remove from water and set aside to cool completely to room temp then peel and dice just before adding to the salad. Potatoes can be cooked 1-2 days in advanced, covered and refrigerated until ready to use.
- Stir together dressing ingredients and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Combine all prepared ingredients in a large mixing bowl: diced potatoes, diced cucumber, sliced radishes, finely diced celery, diced eggs and chopped green onions. Toss gently to combine. Add all of the dressing, or add to taste. Season with more salt and pepper to taste and serve (I added an extra 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper). Garnish with more chives and freshly cracked black pepper to pretty it up.

ENGLISH PUB POTATO SALAD WITH CUCUMBER AND BACON
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. :)

Steps:
- Cook potatoes in large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 18 minutes. Drain potatoes; cool. Peel potatoes. Cut into 3/4-inch cubes and place in large bowl. Add cucumbers and onion. Whisk all remaining ingredients in small bowl. Add to potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 8 hours ahead; chill.)
Tips:
- For a creamy potato salad, use a mixture of mayonnaise and sour cream. For a tangy potato salad, use a vinegar-based dressing.
- To prevent the potatoes from absorbing too much dressing, boil them until they are just tender, then drain and rinse them with cold water.
- Add some chopped celery, carrots, or radishes for extra crunch.
- For a smoky flavor, roast the potatoes before adding them to the salad.
- Garnish the potato salad with fresh herbs, such as chives, dill, or parsley.
