As I noted an initial salt/vinegar bath on the freshly cooked and cubed potato adds a ton of flavor that is readily absorbed. I have been doing this since "god was in short trousers"  Here is link to s Serous Eats article incorporating the concept http://www.seriouseats.com/2010/07/the-food-lab-how-to-make-the-best-potato-salad-done-right.html

 

Thanks for the link ... I never thought about adding vinegar to the cooking water ... it certainly seems to make sense.  I never knew why the potatoes should be added to cold water, and the article made that clear.
