Can boiled potatoes left out at room temperature for three weeks develop harmful mold?
Boiled potatoes could develop harmful mold even in a refrigerator, in a period of 3 weeks. That is a very long time to store boiled potatoes (unless frozen, which is safer). Three weeks at room temperature is far too long for boiled potatoes (although raw potatoes can last that long).

What could cause mashed potatoes to stink?
Bacteria. Specifically S.pyogenes. This bacteria is present in the environment, and loves to grow on the starch in potatoes and rice. Don't leave your potatoes out of the fridge uncovred for too long, and definitely do not eat potatoes that have been in the fridge for more than a week. i won't even eat refrigerated mashed potatoes after 3 days.Other bacteria will also infest mashed potatoes if you put dairy in it, and the dairy will sour just as milk does after staying in the fridge for too long. No more than three days storage for potatoes with dairy. When you reheat do it in the oven or stove top. reheating potatoes in the microwave typically does not keep them hot enough for long enough to kill the bacteria.The good news is majority of the "food poisoning" you would get from typical potato bacterias would only last 12-24 hours...

Put the mini white potatoes in a large container, put cold water to cover, boil for 6 minutes only, transfer immediately into ice cold water to stop further cooking.Leave them in water for 15 minutes and then do whatever you may do with them. if you boil for too long , they will come out too soft and mushy and you do not want that.

Yes, so long as they are refrigerated in between. Sometimes part boiled potatoes go grey when they are kept for too long; you may want to put a little lemon juice on them to prevent this. Refrigerating also helps:)
