I am wondering if anyone has ever tried washing and cutting potatoes the night before for mashed potatoes.If I keep them in water overnight will they be okay or will something happen to them(like get mushy or turn brown anyway)?I am just trying to cut down on time wherever I can.Thanks in advance!

soak them in water, add a little salt, and put in in the refrigirator. that works.

Probably not. Every day, you need to wash the neosporin off with warm water and soap, pat it dry and put new neosporin on - do this twice a day. Watch for signs of infection - yellow pus coming out of the wound, increasing swelling or redness or tenderness. This should take you to your doctor to get an antibiotic.

I have done this plenty of times. Cut up your spuds into large chunks, pu them in a large pot and cover with water. Leave in the fridge, covered.
When you're ready to cook, drain the potatoes and boil up some fresh water. You're totally good to go.

Yes, my grandmother often did this. She would put them in a container of water and put them in the refrigerator until she was ready to cook them. They were fine, but make sure the water is enough to cover them completely so the top ones don't brown.

They will keep in water for a couple of days before going mushy

As long as the potatoes are totally covered w/water, you're set! I've done this many times w/o issues.

Make sure the water covers them completely. Keep them refrigerated until you come home.

Not ideal, but if you add lemon juice to the water it will keep them from turning brown.

Yes. I add some salt to the water and they are fine.
