So I came across this article when trying to determine whether my leftover raw, mandolin-sliced potatoes were safe for eating. Sigh. Here it goes. Don’t judge me too harshly.

I like to make herbed pomme anna from time to time, recipe via Bon Appétit. I had a bunch left over that were sliced and prepped with butter and herbs, but there were in the fridge for like, uh, like 3 or 4 weeks.

I was going to throw them out, but what the heck… I dumped them into a casserole dish and fired them up in the oven. Got some of them nice and toastedly crisp since, believe me, being crunchy and undercooked was NOT going to be a problem. Yes, they were unusually soft before they were cooked. Yes, they were darkened. Also, yes, they came out pretty well and I used them as a topping on some veggie burgers I made.

Conclusion……. we all survived, and it was better than expected. I’m just happy all those potatoes didn’t get wasted. But proceed with caution, because my experience may have been unique.
