It doesn't add flavor but it is practical because both have to be boiled. Be sure and leave the skins on potatoes while boiling to keep them from getting mushy. Don't over cook and use red potatoes. They are firmer and make a better salad.
I don't see how either could add more flavor to the other because the egg shell is a heavy barrier. I would not recommend boiling potatoes and eggs together because they each take different amounts of time to cook. Potatoes depend on what type of potatoes you are boiling and also whether they are being used for mashers, potato salad or stew, etc.
No, I just always put my eggs in with my potatoes when cooking them for potato salad to save messing up two pans.
