Would like to know if I can grate potatoes for potato pancakes and leave the grated potato in water overnight and continue my recipe the next day.

Hi, Judy,

You Have to cover the potatoes with water or evev better awater to which you have added a spoonful of fruit-fresh (ciutric acid_ or powdered vitamin c, In the morning, mash the water out vigorouly in a strainer and dry on paper towels, or you get spatters and sogs. Soaking actually removes a bit of starch which is a good thing. You know not to use new or redskin potaoes? Ellen

new potatoes
I am roasting 50 lbs of new potatoes in 2 seperate roasters for a rehearsal dinner.
For elegance, I would like to remove the peel just around the center. Can I do this the
night before, cover them in water, and then
drain the next morning??
What would be the best recipe for the job. It is a sidekick to pork loin & prime rib.

Yes This also cuts the roasting time. Drain wel, even roll ontyo some big sift towels, water is the enemy of raosting, then roll in oil. For this menu, I might crfush some onion or garlic into the oil and sprinkle on some rosemary.
