Keeping peeled potatoes from turning brown
PattiAnn
11/24/09 		I've read that if you add lemon juice or white vinegar to the water, peeled potatoes won't turn brown. I have to make 10lbs of potatoes but I'm wondering if the lemon juice or white vinegar will alter the taste. Any suggestions?

I am catering a birthday party for 60 people which consists of tea sandwiches and dainties. My question is how many dainties do I need to make and how many tea sandwiches do I have to make?
