Cucumber Salad

Yes, cucumber salad, cause my mother never really knew what else to call it. Nor do I.
It's a simple dish I grew up with, something to put on the side of a main course. My mother would always pour some over mashed or steamed potatoes. Writing a recipe proved to be a bit tricky because she and I cook by sight rather than exact measurements.
Ingredients:
2 good sized cucumbers
1 pint heavy cream
Just over 1/2 tsp of dill weed
Salt + Pepper to taste (I use about 1/2 tsp of each)
Directions:
Shave the dark waxy skin off the cucumbers and cut cucumbers into thin slices (a grater is recommended). Place the slices into a bowl and add the cream and seasoning. Mix together and let sit in the fridge for a hour or so to allow cucumbers to soak in flavoring.
Is best served on top of potatoes.
This dish will last approximately 3-4 days in a sealed container in the fridge.
Again, simple dish, but I'd thought I'd share anyway.
Picture below. With potatoes.
