The question is too vague. Are you cooking them, cleaning them, harvesting them - trying to deal with contamination issues? What, exactly, do you mean by 'handle'?

If you're harvesting, handle gently, because the skin is not cured yet, and will slip off, meaning your potato can't be stored for as long. Don't scrub or brush them, but place them out of sunlight (very important) in a cool dry place for a few days. Once the skin has toughened, you can wash and scrub to your heart's content.

How do you cool potatoes for potato salad In water or just covered in the refrigerator?

You can drain the water and let them sit on the counter for about twenty minutes. When they are cool enough to handle you can make the potato salad. If you put them in water the potatoes will absorb more water and get mushy. If you put them in the refrigerator they will be kind of dried out and your potato salad won't be very creamy. I prefer making it with warm potatoes and then refrigerate the potato salad.
