Cover whole potatoes with cold water, probably in 8 qt and 12 qt pots. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce to medium and simmer until tender about 30 minutes for med potatoes or 20 min for smaller potatoes. Tiny farm fresh potatoes from Hartnell Farms took just 12 minutes to boil!  Drain and cool slightly. Cut into 3/4 inch cubes rinsing knife occasionally so you can cut through the skins. Place warm potatoes in large bowl and add vinegar, 2 T salt, 2 t pepper and toss very gently. Cover bowl and refrigerate until cool about 30 min to 1 hour. Can hold in the fridge until needed. Mix carefully together.
