There are so many different versions of German Potato Salad. This one adds a bit of crunch but does not contain mayonnaise. My husband does not like cucumber, so I skip it. I love Salata vinegar - carried at German speciality stores or on-line.

How To Make crunchy german potato salad

1
Cut the potatoes into cubes; boil in salted water until easily pierced by fork.

2
Drain and pour the hot bouillon over them then allow to cool - liquid should be absorbed. If not, pour off the excess before you add the other ingredients.
3
In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, mustard, sugar, salt and pepper.
4
Scoop out seeds from cucumber. Cut the into small dice. (Or skip them - your choice) Mince pickles. (In a pinch, use about 2 tablespoons of dill relish)
5
Mix the bacon, cucumber, pickle, onions, chives and dressing into the cooled potatoes.
6
Gently mix in the tomatoes, if using. Can chill in the fridge for an hour or two, or serve room temperature. Adjust seasonings and serve.
