You can actually peel and cut potatoes the day before using them. That will definitely save you a lot of time and you can focus on other tasks you may have to do.
Need: 5 lbs russett potatoes
Prepped: After dinner night before Thanksgiving
Remember to wash the potatoes completely. Also,
cut off any visible dark or green spots. Remove sprouts, too. When washing, use
a little bit of white vinegar (or plain lemon juice) and water in your rinsing
process along with a veggie brush; at the end rinse well with just water.
After that, as soon as you peel and cut the potatoes, be sure to place them in dish you’ll boil them in on Thanksgiving. Cover them with cold water within minutes of cutting; that will prevent them from turning dark. Cover container with stockpot lid.
The potatoes should be always covered by water completely. This is very important. Leaving some areas of the potatoes uncovered will cause them to turn dark and that is exactly what you are trying to avoid. Add a few drops of lemon or a little bit of salt to the water. Then, put the bowl in the refrigerator until is time to cook the potatoes.
The next day just remove the potatoes from the container. Rinse under the faucet with running water (you can use a pasta strainer), season them and cook as desired.
