i mean -> "To keep peeled potatoes fresh and white, add lemon juice to the water you keep them in. "

they will turn brown if they stay in the air

you should cook them a lil so they soften up. then you can make killer homefries with them. ummmmmmm mouth watering allready.

mainily depends on how you wanna cook them

If there cooked, then put them in a container with some seasoning on them and then fry them up in the morning. If they are raw, you might want to cook them otherwise they will take forever to fry up!

One way is to boil them in water until they are almost fully cooked. Probably 20 minutes or so if they are whole.
Then let them cool or refrigerate them in a covered dish or plastic bag.
Slice the potatoes into rounds about an 1/8-1/4 inch thick. (edit- or cubes if you prefer)
Heat up some butter and/or oil and brown the sliced potatoes in it.

Or you could shred the raw potatoes, if you have something to shred them with.
Then fry the raw shredded potatoes.

For storing the raw potatoes, the tip above about keeping them in water with some lemon is a good one. But they ought to keep in plain water overnight I think.
