If they are left out in the air not very long. They turn brown pretty quick.
However, you can cut them and store in a large bowl with water. This will keep the potatoes from oxidizing, just make sure they are completely covered.

∙ 14y agoPotatoes can be cut the night before. However, once cut, they will start to turn an orange-red color as the iron in them starts to oxidize and turn to rust. This goes away once they are cooked. Cut potatoes can be stored under water to fight this oxidation.

∙ 14y agoWhen I planted potatoes in my garden I always cut them so that every section had an eye. This allows for more opportunities for individual plants to grow, more plants equals more potatoes. Hope it works out for you as well.

Can potatoes be cut up a couple days before cooking?
It isn't recommended to cut the potatoes a few days before cooking. As soon as they are cut, the air will hit it and turn the insides brown (like an apple). You can cut them the night before and soak the potatoes in water until ready to cook.
Can uncooked cut potatoes marinated in oil sit in fridge overnight?
I wouldn't recommend having a marinade on potatoes overnight. You can cut your potatoes up the night before and have them soak in water to avoid turning them brown/black. Just make sure the water is about an inch over the potatoes. If you want to marinate, an hour of soak time is good enough for potatoes. It's the oxygen that is touching the potatoes that turns them, so there might be some areas of the potato not completely covered in oil. If you still want to try it, make sure to have an airtight lid on.

Do you cut potatoes before boiling for potato salad?
Cook potatoes with their skins on. Cool and skin them with a paring knife. No rinsing required. If your family likes the skins of the little red potatoes , or new potatoes just cut up and mix . Try different recipes. I love to experiment with herbs, like a touch of oregano with tomato-based sauced meats, or a bit of dill with burgers or corned beef sandwiches. Poatatoes are fairly inexpensive. Experiment and have some fun. You may invent a new family favorite.
