"As much as we adore eating potatoes every which way, from mashed and scalloped to fried and roasted, peeling spuds can be labor-intensive (especially when you're entertaining a crowd). So, can you peel potatoes ahead of time? The answer is yes (yay) but of course, you need to know what to do with those precious pieces after they've been under the knife—and before cooking time starts. We caught up with a food safety expert and a chef to get the expert-approved method—and it's one your grandmother probably used."  Comment from Martha Stewart.com

When I cook, I like to do it in different tasks.  It always starts with prepping the vegetables and setting them aside for the next cooking session.  But the exception is always potatoes.  After reading this article, I don't have to make them an exception.
