Soaking potatoes rids them of their rich potassium. Potassium is a healthy vital nutrient for most people, however, high potassium levels can be dangerous for dialysis patients or people who have kidney failure. My mother was a dialysis patient and if she wanted to eat them we had to soak them at least 24 hours in the refrigerator.

∙ 14y agoWhen oxygen hits the potato it will turn colors. Covering them with water helps retain the freshness of the potatoes and prevents them from turning brown/black.
*Stickly speaking only cover them with water after they peeled..... and overnight? really you dont have time to peel them and ocer with water just before..?

∙ 14y agoPlacing potatoes in cold water keeps them from turning brown. It also pulls the starch out of the potatoes, which makes fries crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. It also helps with MASH potatoes making them smoother, fluffier, and easier to mash.

Can uncooked cut potatoes marinated in oil sit in fridge overnight?
I wouldn't recommend having a marinade on potatoes overnight. You can cut your potatoes up the night before and have them soak in water to avoid turning them brown/black. Just make sure the water is about an inch over the potatoes. If you want to marinate, an hour of soak time is good enough for potatoes. It's the oxygen that is touching the potatoes that turns them, so there might be some areas of the potato not completely covered in oil. If you still want to try it, make sure to have an airtight lid on.
