All of the potato-salad recipes on the net call for potatoes
which are "just done."  I recall that the last time I tried my
hand at a potato salad, I cooked the potatoes too long (about
as long as I might cook them for mashing, for example) and
wound up with a very mushy potato salad.

My question is this:  what is the recommended cooking time
for potatoes to be used in potato salad?  I could experiment,
but since I don't make potato salad that often, that could
take forever.
