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.
