Speaking as someone who's had to prep ahead two garbage barrels of sweet potatoes for a giant gumbo event: If you're just peeling them a few hours ahead, then just hold them whereever.Unlike russet potatoes, sweet potatoes (especially garnet yams) do not turn brown or lose texture on exposure to air.If you're going to be holding them for a couple days, then drop them in cold water and refrigerate it.f you're just peeling them a few hours ahead, then just hold them whereever.

Storing Your Potatoes. To prepare your potatoes ahead of time, then, have a bucket or other storage container ready when you begin peeling. Rinse any residual dirt from each potato as it's peeled, and drop it into your bucket of cold water. Whole potatoes are best, because they expose less of their surface area. Once you've finished peeling, add a small amount of lemon juice, white vinegar or cream of tartar to the water. Cover the potatoes with a plate to ensure they stay submerged, and store the container overnight in your refrigerator. The next day, your potatoes should be pale, firm and ready to cook.
