Completing this year's "potato salad trilogy" for us, I made an Eastern European-Style version w/ cucumbers, hard-boiled eggs, tomato, dill, & yogurt. Chilling overnight, it will be ready to accompany some grilled smoked sausages and burgers tomorrow. Happy Labor Day!

Oh, yeah! That looks really good, but I don't see the Eastern European connection. Typically, a potato salad from that region would include julienned ham and mustard. Nothing wrong with your version, however.

Well, I got the original recipe from a Polish friend, so I guess that made it "Eastern European-ish" to me.
I subed cucumbers for pickles, added the tomato, and used yogurt for 1/2 of the sour cream.

Looks good. Care to share the recipe?

Thanks, sure Dave.

2 meduim boiling potatoes, boiled in salted water, drained, peeled when cool enough to handle, and diced
2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, and diced
2 green onions, chopped
1 tomato, seeds removed, chopped
About 1/2 cup chopped fresh herbs - I used a combo of dill & Italian parsley
1/2 cup yogurt - I used fat-free Greek
1/2 cup sour cream - I used reduced fat
Salt & Pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and use a spatula to gently fold everything together. Cover and chill at least 2 hours. Makes 4-5 servings.

Thanks Lynn.
