You are supposed to start the potatoes in cold water as well, I
think so's to cook them evenly, so that shouldn't be a problem.

I like the bring the eggs to a boil, turn off the water and let them
sit for a little over 20 minutes then put them into ice water method,
myself. No green ring, just nice tender cooked through eggs.
I wouldn't cook them with the potatoes.
