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.

Heat a pot of water until boiling. Carefully drop in the cold eggs using a spoon and boil for 7 minutes and 22 seconds. Drain; pour cold water over eggs to stop the boiling process. 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.
