∙ 14y agoyou have a potato whose Specific Gravity is not quiet as dense as water, any heavier and it would sink, of course. Some further examples might help, Balsa wood has a Specific Gravity of 0.2, therefore it is only 0.2 times as dense as water. At the other end of the scale, Mercury has a Specific Gravity of 13.56, so it is 13.56 times heavier than water. So as you can see, it all depends which is heavier, water or your potato

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.
