I have memories of microwave re-heated boiled potatoes going grey at the edges, yuck. I still don't really like the plain boiled ones much...
I have a small amount of freezer space; not much.
I am very fond of baked potatoes with various toppings and am planning to have these for supper a few times a week.
I don't have access to a microwave at lunch, so I am looking for things to eat cold. Since I'm not a huge fan of sandwiches and I have so many potatoes to eat I figured it would be worth asking about cold potato recipes.
The storage really isn't a huge problem - they will keep for ages in a cool dark well-ventilated area. My room is pretty cold and draughty, and I have lots of stacking plastic vegetables boxes with holes in them like the greengrocers use - someone keeps getting flats of mushrooms and then throwing the boxes in the bin, and I keep taking the boxes because they are the perfect size to fit inside my wardrobe. So, I have lined those with newspaper and put all the potatoes in. Some of them are going a bit green at one end, or have big cuts on them (none look really badly rotten, just dirty), so I put those ones at the top so that I use them first. I covered the stack of boxes with a sarong folded over a few times to keep them in the dark so they don't get any ideas about growing; I might replace it with a heavier cloth or a big black sack.
