Preparation

Step 1
Using a sharp knife, cut the potatoes in half and peel some skin off, leaving a band in the center for color.
Step 2
Trim off the ends of the cucumber and remove the skin. Cut the cucumbers into 2-inch rounds. Quarter each slice lengthwise and remove the seeds.
Step 3
Put the potatoes in the rack of a steamer over boiling water and steam for 10 minutes. Add the cucumbers and steam for 3 minutes more. Do not overcook.
Step 4
Heat the butter in a saucepan and add the potatoes, cucumbers, parsley, salt and pepper. Add the lemon juice and toss. Heat for 30 seconds.
