Potatoes... is this ok to do this for preparation ahead of time?!
Making mashed potatoes!. I hate having to peel and cut them at the last minute when I have no time!. Is it ok to peel and cut them and cover them in cool water then stick them in the fridge until it's time to boil and prepare!?
Or will this change the taste or texture!.!.!.or even make them go bad!?
Silly question!.!.!. but just curious!
Thanks!Www@FoodAQ@Com

That's perfect, that's the right way to do them! I've known chefs who do the same thing, have their prep cooks prepare them, and put them in cold water and into the walk-in fridge!. You're spot on!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Yes you can definetely peel and cut them ahead of time!. Cover them will cool water(totally cover the potatoes with water)and you can just leave them right on the stove or the cabinet!. I do this all the time!. I cut them before I leave for church and then when I get home 2 1/2 hours later they are ok and still taste like I peeled and cut them the last minute!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
I peel and dice my potatoes ahead of time every thanksgiving to save time!. I do it the night before and keep them covered in water in the fridge!. No problems!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I suppose so, just make sure you dry them off, wrap in cling wrap,then place in an air tight container to prevent them from turning brown and yucky!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I always do this for big meals!. I've done them up to 3 hours before hand, and if there is a difference no one noticed!. Make sure they are completely covered with cold water!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Yes I do it all the time, too!. I also do this with other vegies at times too!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
