Peel 6 pounds of potatoes and cut into 1/4" slices. Half you will use in the Scalloped Potatoes and Ham recipe today. Put the remaining half of the potatoes to a large zip-lock bag, or bowl with tight lid and cover with water. Refrigerate overnight. (don't store longer than overnight or the potatoes will get soggy and brown.)
