About 20 minutes, depending on the size of your potatoes. The way to test their doneness is to insert a sharp knife into a few of your potatoes and lift them up out of the water. If they fall off the knife, they're done.

If cut into one inch cubes, as little as 15 minutes. The best way to determine if they are ready to MASH is to stick the tines of a fork into a piece and if tender and no longer crisp, they will be ready. If you are boiling them whole, they will take quite a bit longer depending on the sizes of the potatoes.
