Cucumber salad with crispy potatoes
Starter
We've found one of our favorite salads this summer: Cucumber Salad with Super Crispy Smashed Potatoes ! Very easy to prepare, this salad combines fresh cucumbers with golden, crispy "smashed potatoes", creating a delicious balance of textures and above all an absolutely addictive hot/cold contrast. It's ideal as an accompaniment to main courses, as an original starter, or even as aside dish for a barbecue ;-)
