Yes, you can peel potatoes the night before, as long as you store them properly.

How to store them

• After peeling (and cutting, if you like), put the potatoes in a bowl or container and fully submerge them in cold water. This prevents browning and helps preserve texture.

• Cover and refrigerate them; use within about 24 hours for best quality and safety.

Safety and quality tips

• Do not leave peeled potatoes sitting out at room temperature for more than about 2 hours, because bacteria can grow and they may become unsafe.

• When ready to cook, drain, rinse with fresh cold water, and then proceed with your recipe (mash, roast, fry, etc.).
