Here’s where the rules flip like a pancake. Cooked potatoes absolutely belong in the fridge. Once you’ve boiled, baked, or roasted them, they need to cool down and get stored in an airtight container within two hours. Leftover mashed potatoes? Straight to the fridge. No shame in that game.
And don’t even get me started on potato salad. You want that cold and happy, not lurking on the counter where bacteria throw a party. Trust me, a warm potato salad is a one-way ticket to regret city.

The same goes for any dish with potatoes in it—like stew, curry, or those leftover roasties from Sunday dinner. Just pop them in the fridge, and they’ll be fine for three to five days. Your future self will thank you when you’re craving a midnight snack.
