Creamy Green Beans with Mashed Potatoes and Hard-boiled Eggs served with Cucumber Salad

Vegetarian dishes are a big tradition in Czech cuisine, and in this lesson we are going to prepare one of the most popular vegetarian dishes in the Czech Republic — creamy green beans served with light and airy mashed potatoes and perfectly cooked hard-boiled eggs. As a refreshing addition, we are going to also prepare a cucumber salad that will nicely balance the creamy flavor of green beans.

Note: Suitable for vegetarians.
