How many shifts can cut-potatoes be stored for?

Cut potatoes can be stored for up to three shifts before they need to be discarded. This policy is in place to ensure food safety and quality. Potatoes that have been cut can start to oxidize and lose their freshness, which can affect both the flavor and texture of the fries. By limiting the storage time to three shifts, Five Guys maintains a high standard of food quality and ensures that customers receive the best possible product. This practice also helps in managing inventory and reducing waste, which is essential in a fast-paced restaurant environment. Storing cut potatoes for longer periods would likely lead to undesirable changes in their characteristics, making them less suitable for frying.
