List of Ingredients




Onions should never be stored with potatoes in the same bag. Onions tend to release gases that will alter the flavor of a potato.
Cooking the two together in not a problem (as we all know) unless you overdo the quantity of onions and it takes over the flavor and aroma of the potato.
If you store a boiled or baked potato in the refrigerator for 3-4 days (fat chance of that happening) it will lose approximately 90% of its nutrient value. Cooked potatoes should only be stored for 1-2 days.
