   Add potatoes with skin on to a large pot; fill with enough water to cover potatoes completely. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and cook until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain potatoes, but do not rinse. Peel potatoes when cool enough to handle, leaving them whole. Cover and refrigerate until ready to prepare the salad, ideally overnight.

Peel immediately under cold, running water, shells should come off easily. Let eggs cool; dice 5 eggs for salad, and cut 2 eggs into wedges for garnish; set aside.
