If I cook potatoes ahead of time, I usually prefer to boil them than to
bake them. I especially like using them for home fries or roast beef or
corned beef hash. I would never use them for potato salad, as I like to
drizzle a bit of warm chicken broth, vinegar, celery seeds, and other
seasonings over the still-warm potatoes that have just been cooked and
diced. When they cool to room temperature, I proceed with making the
potato salad. Much more flavor that way.
