Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Potato Skins expire?
Unopened store-bought frozen potato skins, kept in the freezer, are usually good for about 10-12 months, though they'll remain safe to eat beyond that time. Once you've cooked or reheated your potato skins, they can last in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days. If you've made your potato skins from scratch at home, these guidelines will apply after you've cooked them. If frozen, either store-bought or homemade potato skins can last up in the freezer for around 2 months.
How do you tell if Potato Skins is bad?
Tell-tale signs that your potato skins have gone off include a noticeable change in texture, color, or smell. If your potato skins feel slimy or excessively soft, display an off-putting or unusual smell or have visible mold or discoloration, then they're likely unsafe to eat. Always use your senses to determine whether or not the product is still fresh.
Tips for storing Potato Skins to extend shelf life
• To maximize the shelf life of cooked potato skins, refrigerate them in a shallow, covered container to allow for uniform cooling. Avoid deep containers as they do not allow the center area to cool to the safe temperature quickly enough. • If you're freezing your potato skins, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze them individually first. Then, transfer them into airtight containers or freezer bags. This step prevents the potato skins from clumping together, making it easier to grab and reheat the exact number you want. • To avoid freezer burn and maintain the quality of your frozen potato skins, make sure to remove as much air as possible from the freezer bags before sealing them. Using vacuum-seal bags can also be an extra beneficial method. • When it comes to defrosting your frozen potato skins, you can simply bake them, or use a toaster oven. Be sure they’re heated all the way through for both optimal taste and food safety.
