Preparation:
Peel the cucumber and slice it lengthwise. Scoop out seeds with a spoon and
discard. Dice cucumber. In a heavy 2 1/2-quart saucepan boil potatoes in
salted water until the potatoes are very soft. Pour potatoes and cooking
liquid into a sieve or food mill set over a large bowl. Force potatoes
through. Return to the saucepan. Stir in pepper, cream, milk, grated onion
and the cucumber. Simmer gently about 5 minutes or until the cucumber is
tender. Add dill and season to taste. Serve hot. |
