Sustainability and food waste is something we’re constantly thinking about at Good Food, so we’ve come up with a list of ways to keep your potatoes going for longer, plus some simple recipes to use the last few up.</p>
<p>For more tips on how to get the most out of your kitchen staples, take a look at <a href="/howto/guide/how-to-waste-fewer-bananas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">how to waste fewer bananas</a> and <a href="/howto/guide/how-to-waste-less-bread" target="_blank" rel="noopener">how to use up bread</a>.</p>
<h2>10 tips to waste fewer potatoes</h2>
<p>1. Store raw potatoes in a breathable bag in a cool, dark place. Leftover cooked ones will keep chilled in an airtight container for up to four days.</p>
<p>2. Potatoes freeze well – boil until just tender, spread out over a tray to cool, then freeze until solid. They’ll then keep in a freezerproof container or food bag for up to three months. Cook straight from frozen for roast potatoes, blend into soups and sauces, or defrost fully and mash.</p>

<p>3. Potato peels can also be frozen – scrub well, then store in a freezerproof container for up to three months. Add to soups and sauces straight from frozen to provide extra body and thickness.</p>
<p>4. If your potatoes have sprouted or have green bits, remove and discard these using a small sharp knife before cooking with them.</p>

<p>5. Potato peel crisps<br>
For a quick and easy snack, toss <strong>potato peels</strong> with a splash of <strong>vegetable oil</strong>, some seasoning and <strong>dried herbs</strong>, then air-fry at 180C for 8-10 mins, tossing often until crispy.</p>
<p>6. The Food Standards Agency has recently updated its advice, and now recommends storing your potatoes in the fridge if you have a glut that you won’t be able to get through quickly. This will help preserve them for longer.</p>
<p>7. Add leftover mash to pancakes, fishcakes, bread or even cake. We use it in our five-star <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/gluten-free-lemon-drizzle-cake">gluten-free lemon drizzle cake</a>. Mash also freezes well.</p>
