Ivana Sanshia’s note

I kept seeing this potato salad everywhere, so I had to make my own version. The combination of creamy yoghurt dressing, soft eggs, tender potatoes and crunchy cucumber makes it so satisfying. Don’t over-mash it — I love keeping some larger pieces of potato and egg for texture.
