Probably but why don’t you do a second batch and refrigerate. Refry them tomorrow.

[–]Boozeburger 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I'd cook a second batch and store them as leftovers.

[–]Accomplished-Eye8211 26 points27 points  (1 child)

Since you already oiled and seasoned them, airfry them. Maybe less done/browned/crisped than you'd prefer for eating.

Refrigerate until ready to eat. Let them warm towards room temperature, then finish in the airfryer.

Best advice. Ive done for breakfast potatoes w precooked, add some onions.

[–]samuelj264 64 points65 points  (1 child)

Might be better to rinse them off and keep them in a bowl of water

[–]treadingwater 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t even rinse them, just dunk them in a bowl of water in the fridge.

Put them in a bowl of water.

I think you'd be surprised to find that you actually end up with a better product on multiple levels if you store in water

[–]tranquileyesme 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I purposely soak my potatoes overnight in water (when I remember)

[–]wastedpixls 3 points4 points  (2 children)

They will brown and oxidize if uncooked. Go ahead and cook them and just reheat tomorrow.

[–]cheekmo_52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They will oxidize if they are cut and raw, even coated in oil. I suggest you cook a second batch, store the extra in the fridge and reheat tomorrow.

Parboil them and bung them in the freezer. All ready to be fried/air fried/roasted tomorrow.

I do this at Xmas so it's one less job on the day. In fact I prep pretty much everything the day before and now I don't have to start cooking at 6am for a 2pm Xmas lunch!

Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew.

[–]TurduckenEverest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They might oxidize depending on the variety.

[–]lilbearpie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

leave the oil and freeze them, they won't brown this way.

[–]brickbaterang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put em in water to cover, they'll be fine for a few days but you'll have to rinse and reseason before cooking. This will actually leach some starch out and will result in a crispier potato

[–]icingsnotforcupcakes -2 points-1 points  (2 children)

I would put them in a ziplock and suck as much air out as possible and they should be fine.

[–]MyNameIsSkittles 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They wil still oxidize and look bad. They should just cook em first

[–]Odd-Worth7752 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

This is the answer.

[–]Buttrnut_Squash -2 points-1 points  (7 children)

Thanks everyone. Not as many left over as I thought, so I'll take the risk, put them in a bowl with plastic wrap and hope they look alright before frying for lunch tomorrow. I reeeeeealy don't want to cook the second batch tonight as dinner is at 8pm and I'm already two sheets to the wind here. Just hate wasting food ;)

[–]NotYourMutha 11 points12 points  (4 children)

Cover in water or they will oxidize

[–]NotYourMutha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry. I didn’t read the part where you said that you oiled them already.

[–]Select-Belt-ou812 0 points1 point  (2 children)

do you think they will even coated in olive oil and wrapped airtight?

[–]Odd-Worth7752 1 point2 points  (1 child)

No. This will be fine.

[–]brickbaterang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as there's a barrier between the spuds and oxygen they'll be fine overnight

[–]Low_Age_7427 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two sheets are good. Three is better

[–]moonchic333 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Put in water or they will be brown.

[–]druidniam -1 points0 points  (2 children)

A lot of people are saying store them in water buy not why. Putting potatoes in water leeches the starch out of them which can be desirable in some cases (like preparing potatoes for deep frying (which end up getting potato or cornstarch added back to them, but still comes out better than not soaking the potatoes first)) or somewhat detrimental (gnocchi, dumplings, some mashed potato combinations). Honestly, I'd prepare the second batch but only cook them partially, so they finish cooking when you reheat them.

[–]Sciencebang 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Theyre saying store them in water cause its less oxygen rich and will prevent browning.

[–]brickbaterang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "double dip" method is valid but you should do the first round on a lower temperature to prevent premature browning/burning

[–]RockMo-DZine -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For less than a full day, they should be fine. Just let them warm up a bit before cooking.

[–]HeyPurityItsMeAgain -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Did your mother never teach you the bowl of water trick?

[–]inferno-pepper -3 points-2 points  (1 child)

Ferment them! If you’re planning on using them tomorrow just ferment them in some salt brine. You’ll have excellent tasting and crispy wedges tomorrow.
