A call for recipes

ewtI've had a windfall in the form of 16kg of baking potatoes of various quality. This is exciting.
I've been spending a LOT more time at Trinity the past few weeks, with the result that I've been getting coursework done and handed in, without having to pull any serious all-nighters. This is not as exciting, but it is still good. However, I am a disorganised ewt and have not quite got the hang of bringing my lunch with me in the morning, and this is getting expensive - because when I'm starving, thrift goes out the window and I buy whatever seems like a really good idea at the time (expensive salad from M&S with expensive smoothie things, or pies from the pie shop - cheaper but with only two veggie pies I can't eat there every day!).
I want to attempt to remedy my lunch problem in part with these potatoes. So, I need potato recipes that can be prepared in advance and eaten cold.
Forgot to post this earlier, oops!
EDIT: People have asked me about my dietary requirements.
In theory, I do not eat pork or shellfish. and do not combine meat products (excluding fish) with dairy products.
In practise, I also do not eat chicken or beef or lamb when preparing food at home, as I have no meaty dishes.
I love dairy produce! Especially the full-fat stuff.
The easiest way to think of my diet, for most people, is going to be 'lacto-ovo-vegetarian plus fish', but I'm also pretty good at making substitutions for things like sausages and chicken, so if you have a recipe which is TEH GOOD except it has bacon bits, let me know anyway and I might be able to do it a different way.
I'm not really supposed to have huge amounts of sugar.
I find mayonnaise, prepared mustard and salad cream seriously off-putting and do not eat them at all. Again, I'm not too bad with finding appropriate substitutes.

would tuna and potato salad work? (tuna, chopped boiled potatoes, soured cream, and spring onions)
I often buy lunch from Boots (for various reasons) and iirc they do a nice salade nicoise (sp?!) which has quartered baby new potatoes (boiled). It's really, really nice. A quick look for recipes found me this one (http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/recipe_views/views/15533) and a few others that might also be interesting (http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/find/results?threshold=4350&search=nicoise&search2=potato) on the ever wonderful Epicurious.
Oh, and by the way Here are some recipes on a pretty site (http://www.idahopotato.com/recipe_display.php?key=%searchmain%). No idea if the recipes are nice but there are so many I would hope at least one would be inspiring. Also, even if none fit the current purpose, not only is the side amusing it has potentially Pesachdik recipes (eg Potato lasagne (http://www.idahopotato.com/recipe_search_detail.php?id=203) (well, as I said - it's entertaining :) )
Love,
