Thanksgiving ruined. The potatoes I spent hours prepping oxidized in the fridge overnight.

What the fuck? Why are they flat?

Yeah potatoes tend to do that

Yea you gotta soak them in water to prevent that friend

Oh hon. Well, that’s a mistake you’ll only make once.
Another pro tip: don’t premake gold potatoes for mash, and run them through a ricer and refrigerate the riced potato intending to add hot butter and cream the next day. The starch will gelatinize and it will behave like pellets of potato in butter and cream. MIL will never live that one down.

You’d think someone that spent hours prepping potatoes would know to keep them in water to prevent this.

I feel so sad for you. The second-hand heartbreak is real.

You lost from the moment you cut them like that.

Are they unsafe to eat or??

You’re supposed to put them in cold water if you plan to not use them for a while – that or don’t prepare them until you’re prepared to cook them. 🤷🏻♂️ Better luck next time.

Can you not just take the top layer off? If I had to guess the oxidation is only on the surface
Rodrat
Sadly you can’t pre-make potato dishes to cook later. The potatoes have to stay submerged in water until ready to cook.
You could have baked them the night before and the reheated them in the oven as one option.
ChefAsstastic
You have to soak them in lemon water to prevent this. Then remove them to cook.

Thanks, Marie Callender.

Should just be able to peel off the top layer? Definitely a “par cook ahead and finish cooking before serving” kind of food

I mean…it was obvious its going to happen
WagyuBeefCubes
Isnt this still safe to eat? I’d take the first layer aside, and cook both dishes normally. The first layer part is all mine and I’d serve the rest like normal.

I believe you can blanch or partially boil them so this doesn’t happen. At least I’ve done that when freezing sliced potatoes to use for fries, as they even oxidize like this in the freezer in a sealed bag.

Once you fry them and pour the ketchup on, nobody will notice
HitmanxNatuRe
I mean it looks not the greatest, but can’t you still eat that? Just add cheese on top and no one has to know xD

Take off the top layer, the ones underneath should be fine.

Sometimes people make battery acid lasagna. Easy mistake to make. Like this one time where today I did not bring any potatoes.
This picture resembles somene not done with Halloween, with slabs of butter. Festive. Intentinal. Hire me for your next potatoes spin. Easier to explain when you are an ar-teest.

Oh, yeah, that’s why you don’t prepare potatoes ahead of time unless you’re going to soak them in water…
Also, I’m so curious how these were prepared??? They look, like, thin sliced…?
