Once each week I make beef stew for my husband. I start it in the morning in the crock pot before I leave for work. But I have found that peeling potatoes in the morning is very time consuming. Is there any way I can peel the potatoes the night before and add them to the stew in the morning without them turning?
This would really help me out a lot.
Can I cut them or should I keep them whole?

I usually peel the potatoes (rinse & clean) then I and put them in a bowl of water inside the refrigerator. Make sure the water covers the potatoes completely. This will keep them fresh although sometimes my refrigerator is so cold it freezes the water and they're no good.

How To Keep Potatoes Fresh

Not sure if it works, but I worked in a small restaurant in High School. The boss always had us put the peeled potatoes in a 5 gallon bucket and then cover them with soda water from the bar. Then we put the buckets in the walk-in cooler until we needed them for hand cut french fries. As I remember they lasted for several days without significant browning. Hope this helps! =)

As you peel them, place each potato into a big pot of tap water. All potatoes should be submerged in the water. Than keeps them from turning dark. Refrigerate pot of potatoes until needed.
