Creamy Cucumbers Overs Mashed Potatoes Recipes

MASHED POTATOES WITH CUCUMBER

Steps:

• Mash cooked potatoes with butter, 2 tbsp milk and sour cream.
• Add salt and pepper.
• In a small bowl, combine cucumber, onion, 2 tablespoons milk, vinegar and sugar.
• Stir into mashed potatoes.
• Serve immediately.

THE CREAMIEST MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel and rinse potatoes. Cut into 1-inch cubes or chunks. Place the potatoes into a large pot. Pour in chicken broth. Potatoes should be just covered with liquid.
• Place the pot on the stove over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
• Strain the potatoes from the broth and put the cooked potatoes into a large mixing bowl.
• Add in the butter, cream cheese, buttermilk, and salt. Use a hand mixer to whip the potatoes and other ingredients until light, fluffy, and creamy (3-5 minutes), or use a potato masher or a potato ricer. Serve hot.

CREAMY CUCUMBERS OVERS MASHED POTATOES

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!
