Guest guest Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 Mel, potatoes are my very favorite veggies. If they sit long in water they will absorb it and become watery. I wouldn't advise it. The lentil loaf worked fine when I made it and cook a few hours later. I thought it was just a bit dry doing this but still came out fine, the oats absorbed some of the liquid. Like you, I look to start a dish and finish it right away...........Donna melissa_hopp <hoppmel wrote: Just wondering...and trying to be effecient can you wash, peel, slice potatoes ahead of time and let them sit in water until you are ready to cook them? I'm wondering if it makes them watery...I know the color may be off. D'ya need to stick them in the fridge, or can you leave them out? Also - how about preparing lentil loaf ahead of time and cooking it at dinner - any luck doing this? I'm a worrier and don't know much about ahead of time prep...I worry about giving everyone food poisoning - not that I have yet in all my years of cooking...think it helps not to have the meats... m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 Mel, isn't the potato a wonderful and versatile veggie? I still don't soak peeled potatoes long in water before I use them. The are were always mushy when I would cook and mash them. I used to get them ready a few hours before Thanksgiving dinner and let them set in the pan in water and they never mashed as well as freshly peeled and boiled potatoes..Donna melissa_hopp <hoppmel wrote: > > http://www.idahopotato.com/faq/index.php#a41 Wow - every thing you wanted to know about potatoes!!! Thanks! m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
