When I am cooking potatoes for potato salad, I put my eggs in with the potatoes. This way they all cook together, and I don't have to use another pot.

Personally, I would rather have to use two pans, which are both easily cleanable cooking these two items, rather than taking the chance of bacteria possibly leaching from the egg shells in to the potatoes. Beyond that worry, potatoes take much longer to cook than eggs so the eggs could be way overcooked even for potato salad.
One problem about that is that eggs are their very best, and certainly look their best if they are not really boiled, but rather brought to a boil, then set off the heat and left in the water for about 20 minutes. They are pretty and yellow, no greenish brown on the edges of the yolk. Just something I was told many years ago, and have passed on to many family and friends.
I have always boiled my egg with my potatoes for potato salad an have no problems at all and I have been cooking for quite a few years. 45, to be exact... LOL
Sheila I always have too, just wanted to make sure it was ok!
Easy, less work, I also add lots of salt, so eggs peel well, and potatoes have flavor!
Do I still put salt in the water with potatoes and eggs
