First, make the dressing. Heat the broth (homemade or instant) and stir in the vinegar, oil, and mustard while it’s still hot. Season to taste with the spices and cucumber juice. Set the dressing aside to cool. Scrub the potatoes well and cook as usual. Cool the potatoes slightly under cold water. Slice the potatoes, cut the Harzer cheese into bite-sized pieces, and dice the gherkins. Place the potatoes, cucumbers, and cheese in a bowl. Pour the dressing over the potato and cheese salad and mix gently. Let the salad marinate in a cool place for at least 30 minutes. Tip: If the salad isn’t going to be eaten until the next day, I always make a lot of dressing to give the cheese plenty of time to marinate.
