Can you still cook potatoes after they have soaked in water all night?

Yes, it is safe to cook potatoes after they have soaked in water all night. While it is true that soaking potatoes in water can remove some of the water-soluble vitamins and minerals, this is not a significant concern. The potatoes will still retain most of their nutritional value, and they will still be safe to eat.

When soaking potatoes, it is important to use cold water. This will help to prevent the potatoes from absorbing too much water and becoming soggy. You should also soak the potatoes for no longer than 8 hours. Any longer than this, and the potatoes may start to lose their flavor and texture.

After soaking, the potatoes should be drained and rinsed thoroughly. This will help to remove any excess starch and prevent the potatoes from sticking together when cooked. The potatoes can then be cooked by any method you prefer, such as boiling, roasting, or baking.
