Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water, to which a pinch of sugar has been added. When just tender, drain and place on a plate to cool. Peel and slice or cube them when they are cool enough to handle but warm enough to absorb the dressing.

Excerpt from SF Chronicle 05/06/98 Food Section see www.sfgate.com ; Busted by HANNEMAN Notes: "When artichokes are plentiful, trim them down to their hearts, then blanch the hearts until just tender. Slice and toss into the following potato salad. And if you like capers as much as I do, toss them into the salad as well.
