Serve a scoop of this hearty egg, cucumber, and bacon-filled potato salad alongside a burger or a sizzling steak.

Ingredients

8 red potatoes
6 slices bacon
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cucumber, chopped
1/2 cup chopped red onion
3 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
1 cup celery, chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon paprika
salt and pepper to taste
1 hard-cooked egg, sliced
3 sprigs fresh parsley, or as desired
1 pinch paprika, for garnish

Directions

1 Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and cool. Chop potatoes and transfer into a large salad bowl.
2 Place the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels. Crumble bacon when cool.
3 Stir mayonnaise, crumbled bacon, cucumber, red onion, 3 chopped eggs, celery, 1/2 cup parsley, and 1 tablespoon paprika into the potatoes until thoroughly combined. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Garnish salad with slices of hard-cooked egg, 3 sprigs of fresh parsley, and a pinch of paprika.
