CREAMY CUCUMBERS OVERS MASHED POTATOES
This cucumber dish is a favorite among my husband's family. I learned to make this as a new bride back in the late 70's, and whenever we have an abundance of cucumbers in our garden.

Steps:
- 1. Peel and (thinly slice) each cucumber into a colander. And between each layer of cucumber, peeled and sliced, sprinkle with a bit of salt over each. (I normally set my colander inside a larger bowl, to allow the liquid from the cucumbers, to drain into the larger bowl.)
- 2. Let cucumbers sit in the colander for 1-3 hours. Then transfer the cucumbers into another bowl. (Discard the remaining liquid that has drained into the larger bowl.)
- 3. Now add the cream and vinegar to the cucumbers, and gently stir the cucumbers.
- 4. Add the salt and pepper, and once again, gently stir the cucumbers.
- 5. Cover the cucumbers, and place the bowl in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
- 6. Serve the creamy cucumbers over the 'hot' mashed potatoes. (For each serving: Just place desired amount of mashed potatoes onto your plate, and top with desired amount of the creamy cucumbers.)
- 7. Note: Before I top my potatoes with the cucumbers and cream, I first top my taters with a bit of butter, and let it melt into the potatoes just a bit. I just enjoy mine served this way!
