We really enjoyed this potato salad. It was delicious. I didn't bother to peel the potatoes as we enjoy the skin. I also used vegetable boullion instead of the chicken boullion. I also didn't have any white wine vinegar, but had white balsamic, so I used that instead. It turned out very nice. Thanks for a delicious potato salad recipe!

I have never been a fan of mayonnaise based potato salad so when I came across this one I thought I would try it out. It is a fabulous recipe, but we thought that it was a bit too salty. I will make this with half the salt next time. This is now my go to potato salad recipe. Thanks so much Leah Marie for posting.

This is a really great basic French potato salad recipe. My husband is French and makes it all of the time. He never measures, so I needed to come here and find a precise recipe. I would probably add a bit of fresh basil and parsley as well.

Very good. Everyone liked it, and it made a pleasant change from mayonnaise or creamy dressings for potato salad. Personally, I think I will probably omit the bouillon next time (I used vegetable bouillon) - but I will definitely be making it again! Thank you.

I really loved this potato salad. It was nice to get a craving at work and be able to have it that night (no chilling). I have to admit that I didn't let it sit for very long, but the flavor was still wonderful. I didn't peel them either - I just threw our the skins that slipped off easily while I was slicing them.
