Boil the potatoes with their skin until cooked through but still firm.

Drain the potatoes and cool in cold water for a few minutes (don't let them soak!), then drain and let the potatoes cool completely.

Remove the skins and cut into bite-sized slices.

Put the potato slices in a bowl and pour the hot broth over them – let them soak for about 30 minutes.

In a different bowl, mix the mayonnaise with cucumber water (or vinegar), sugar, mustard, some salt, and pepper.

Add the onions.

Prepare the additional ingredients that you chose from the list above and prepare them (slice, cube, etc.).

Drain the potatoes but leave a little bit of broth (not much though).

Add the potatoes to the mayonnaise, along with the remaining ingredients, and mix carefully until everything is covered in mayonnaise.

Season to taste with salt, pepper, and pickle juice.

Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours, better overnight.
