Boiled Potatoes Fresh for 7 Days: Master the Traditional Storage Method

• Boiled potatoes often spoil quickly due to improper storage, but a traditional method can keep them fresh for a week.
• Avoid over-boiling; potatoes should be firm enough for a knife to penetrate without breaking, and remove them from hot water immediately.
• After peeling, dry potatoes under a fan for 15-20 minutes to remove surface moisture, which prevents bacterial growth.
• Store dried, peeled potatoes in an airtight container with tissue paper at the bottom and top to absorb excess moisture.
• Unpeeled boiled potatoes last longer as their skin acts as a natural shield; store them on the middle or top shelf of the fridge, not the freezer.
