I am frying taters for a crew tomorrow. Today I am semi cooking them in the
microwave to ease the load tomorrow. Left them whole, washed the skins and
nuked till about half done. Can I safely leave them out overnight or must they
be refrigerated? Thanks much.

I'd refrigerate rather than worry about it.

They will have a better texture if refrigerated so it's not just a food safety
question.

I have an addiction to runny fried eggs served over hash brown. So I know
of what I speak. the Potatoes for hash browns have no need of either
peeling or pre-cooking. Just wash them well and chop them up, then fry with
chopped onions and salt and pepper. I followed a Barefoot Contessa Recipe
and learned this.

Maybe I am wrong, but I got the impression that the half cooking was to help
save time when cooking for a crew. I can identify with this as I once had the
lovely experience of cooking diced potatoes for 60 kids and 10 adults for
breakfast in one 14 inch cast iron pan....Would have been a helluva lot easier
if the potatoes had been pre-cooked a bit!
