Don't you mean to cook potatoes with peel or not to keep in flavor..
if peeled it doesn't matter if cut or not regarding flavor retention.
Naturally smaller potatoes cook faster but how much faster you
talking... more imporatanly that all are about the same size whether
cut or not so they all cook in about the same time. And always start
potatoes in cold water so they will cook evenly.
