Crunchy German Potato Salad image

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.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 lb potatoes, peeled
1 1/4 c hot chicken or beef bouillon
1/3 c grapeseed oil - or other neutral oil
3 Tbsp german vinegar - or white distilled vinegar
1 tsp grainy mustard
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
1/4 tsp pepper, to taste
1/2 small cucumber, optional
1-2 large dill or german pickle
1 medium onion, minced
2 green onions, chopped
2-3 Tbsp real bacon bits or crumbled bacon
1-2 Tbsp chopped chives or green part of green onions
6 cherry tomatoes, halved, optional

Steps:

  • 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.
