Place whole peeled potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water.

Bring the water to a boil and reduce heat to simmer until potatoes are just barely fork tender.

Drain the potatoes and let cool slightly on the countertop.

In a small saucepan, combine vegetable broth and all spices, then chop the onion finely.

Bring the broth mixture to a boil, add the onion cubes and vinegar, mix well, and turn off the heat.

Peel the warm potatoes and cut them into thick slices.

Place the sliced potatoes into a large bowl and pour the hot broth over them, ensuring not to stir.

Cover the salad and allow it to rest for about 1 hour to absorb the liquid.

After resting, add oil and mix carefully, then season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve immediately or let rest covered for up to four hours at room temperature.
