Peel and dice the potatoes, and boil in salted water. Stir the cream cheese until smooth, season generously with salt and pepper. Wash the chives, shake dry, and cut into small rolls. Fold all but 1 tablespoon of the chives into the cream cheese. Halve the tomatoes and finely dice the onion. Season the vinegar with salt, pepper, and sugar, and whisk in 2 tablespoons of the oil.
