True German Potato Salad

So often German potato salad, when made in the States, includes bacon.  But when our family visited a while back, they made a completely different German Potato Salad--one with cucumbers.  It was refreshing, not heavy.  So here's one to try although I admit the recipe is quite rough.

Cook potatoes, peel and cut into slices (perhaps 3 lbs of potatoes)

Peel 1-2 cucumbers, slice in half then slice thinly so you have half moons.  You can easily pull out the seeds as you go.

1/2 of a medium size onion, thinly sliced.

Now here's where it gets difficult.  The dressing is made of vegetable buillion (1-2 cubes in a cup of water.  Salt and pepper.  No, the recipe I was given doesn't tell how much.  Silly.  OK, I will guesstimate for you for the other, more crucial ingrediets.  Add a tablespoon or 2 of mustard, 1/4 c of vinegar, 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil.  Mix together and pour over the potatoes, cucumbers and onions.

It really is delicious.
