keeping peeled potato's in water

Options
Hi all,

This is more of a time saving q rather than money saving!

How long would it be ok to keep fresh peeled potato's in water?

I hate peeling potato's every night, and would like to peel a load at a time and keep a few days worth in water.

Any ideas?

    At school we were told to place a slice of brown bread on the top of the bowl of peeled potatoes to stop them changing colour when exposed to the air or something - not sure how long that works for though. ;)

    I peel my Christmas Day potatoes the night befor and put them in a plastic bag with a little water and store them over night.

    Peel 2 days at a time. I don't think they would keep more than overnight.

    I get RSI pain if I peel too many! That't my excuse anyway. :D

    How about you boil them and keep them in the fridge.

  • hi

    i used to work in a hotel kitchen and used a rumbler which took the skin off we did bags at a time and stored them in a bucket covered with water in a walk in fridge, they lasted like this for 3-4 days. if the water went a funny colour we changed it for fresh.

    Old age isn't bad when you consider the alternative.

    ... but I love mashed potatoes and you have to have very thin skinned potatoes to make that :(

  • They will keep 3 - 4 days in water as long as you change the water each day for fresh.
    Any longer than that and they start to go a bit spongey.
