Preparing potatoes
in advance reduces last-minute hustle and bustle.
Preparing potatoes ahead of time takes away some of the anxiety and last-minute hustle. The problem is, if you wash and peel them ahead of time, they might turn dark by the time you begin cooking them. You can prevent the potatoes from turning dark by following a few simple instructions.
Instructions
1. Mix a solution of 1 quart cool water and 3 tbsp. lemon or lime juice. Make enough of this solution to completely cover the potatoes you peel.
2. Peel the whole potatoes with a potato peeler.
3. Drop the potatoes into the pot of the cooled solution as you peel them.
4. Place the pot potatoes and solution into a refrigerator and allow it to set for 1 hour.
5. Drain the water from the potatoes thoroughly through a colander. Place the potatoes into a smaller container with a lid that seals tightly, allowing as little air as possible to reach the potatoes.
6. Store the potatoes in the refrigerator up to 24 hours in advance of preparing them.
