Potato Prep

When you are preparing a recipe that uses fresh potatoes, make sure to prepare the potatoes just before you are ready to cook.

If you prepare fresh potatoes too much in advance, the potatoes can turn black. It does not really affect the taste, but it certainly changes the appearance.

If you do find it necessary to prepare potatoes early, after they have been peeled, drop them into a bowl of water making sure that they are completely covered.
