For food safety, always store leftover potatoes in a shallow container in the refrigerator within 2 hours of cooking, and reheat thoroughly until steaming hot before eating. Do not leave cooked potatoes sitting at room temperature for extended periods, as they can become a favorable environment for bacterial growth.
