Ask Dr. Potato
Q: If I peel potatoes and store them in cold water, will they absorb the water?
A: Potatoes are porous, so some of the water will be absorbed, but not enough to alter the outcome of your recipe. Restaurants often do this with potatoes cut for fries, so the excess starches on the outer surface of the potatoes falls to the bottom of the container.
