I'm new to meal prepping and both my cooking skills and disposable income are minimal.
Can baked potatoes be kept as leftovers in the fridge for a few days? I'm thinking about adding potatoes to my normal meal prep routine (chicken and veggies) to add in some carbs to help fill me up. Until a few minutes ago I was certain that baked potatoes could last for a while in the fridge, but I Googled it and saw a bunch of nightmarish stuff about baked potatoes causing serious health issues if eaten more than a day after. I figure that's most likely just the usual Internet alarmist stuff (similar to how if you Google any kind of ache or pain it'll tell you you're dying of cancer) but I wanted to check here just to be safe.

So I parboiled some potatoes for French fries but something came up and I won't be able to cook it until Saturday. Can I store them in the fridge in an air tight container? Will it go bad?
level 1
A week if it’s air tight snap ware. Pro kitchens are more strict bc of red tape which is obnoxious. I work for a large chain and anything precooked is allowed to be kept for a week or more depending on what it is. Less for meat and longer for veggies. If you’ve parboiled them you’re fine for a bit. So annoyed with the “well CDC says” and “well pro kitchens do this” comments
level 1
They will be fine for a few days to a week. If I keep them coverd
level 1
Well, you can store them as long as you want, but I wouldn't plan on eating them past day 7, maybe day 5 depending on the actual temperature.
level 1
3 days is max time in a professional kitchen, I couldn't suggest more than a day or two beyond that.

I baked a sweet potato last night, cooled and refrigerated overnight. Once it’s out of the fridge again, how long will it stay safe to eat?

Anything left out for more than 2 hours gets thrown out in my house, just to be safe.

A week is comfortable for me or a little more. Depends on the temperature and cleanliness of your fridge as well as your storage methods.
