Approximately 10 to 25 minutes at a high boil. The time required to boil potatoes depends on whether and how the potatoes are cut up. Smaller pieces, such as cubes, expose more surface area to the boiling water and so cook more quickly than larger pieces. Whole potatoes will take the longest time to boil until done. ........................... Boil them long enough that a fork will enter them without much effort.
Cut the potatoes into approx. 1 inch cube. If you do this they should only need to boil 15 minutes. If you have the pieces bigger, then it will take longer.
it take more than 30 min. to boil
Are these whole potatoes or cut potatoes? Large ones or small ones? If these are whole baked potatoes, (Large Potatoes) puncture them several times each with a fork. Preheat your over to 375 and bake for about an hour. Carefully remove one of the potatoes from the center of your pan, use a knife or fork and make a small incision to check if it's soft all the way through. If it's still a little hard, continue baking, and repeat the same "poking" process until your fork or knife goes through easily all the way through the potato.

The deeper the water the longer it will take to boil. So if you put a small amount in a big pan it will boil much faster than a small amount in a small pan.
The quantity of potatoes does not alter the cooking time. But the size of potato or potato pieces affects the time it takes for them to boil. 1, 10 or 100 potatoes of similar size will require the same cooking time when boiled. But larger potatoes take longer to boil than small potatoes. Cut the potatoes into pieces of approximately the same size, and they will all be done at about the same time.

You will want a gallon of water per pound of potatoes. Bring water to boil. Peel and cut potatoes into uniform sizes. Put into water and boil three to five minutes or until soft. Note. Water should reach 180F When cooked take from boiling water and put into iced water. Leave in iced water as long as in boiling water. Dry and pack for freezer.
