The refrigerator light goes on...

The waxy red potatoes hold together better in potato salad than russets or Idaho potatoes. Use Yukon Gold potatoes if you don't want the red skin.

There is a 30+ year old debate about whether to leave the skin on or off. Back in the 50s and 60s recipes always called for peeling the potatoes, and in the 70s recipes began showing up with the peeling step left out. It is a matter of preference, but there are a lot of nutrients in the skin and it does change the flavor and texture somewhat.

If you do decide to peel, the larger red potatoes are easily peeled after boiling – the skins will generally just slip off easily.
