I always boil my potatoes with the skins on them, start with cold water for
both eggs and potatoes, and start timing when they boil.

Hi, Everyone.
Here's my set of don't-you-know-this-by-now questions.
I want to boil eggs and potatoes for salad later today. Do I start with a cold
pan and the potatoes and eggs, respectively, already in the water? Or do I boil
the water first and add the eggs/potatoes after the water has boiled?
When I time for doneness, do I start timing after the water has reached 212
degrees, or from the point when the stove gets turned on to heat?
And re the potatoes, do I boil them whole with the skin on, or peeled and
cubed? Is there a preference?
Thanks,
Dani
