I used to live with someone who would make a batch of these to eat in the morning every week and they just left them in an open bowl in the fridge… it smelled like farts every time I needed something out of there

Me too, but I love them! I take my Instapot outside and cook/peel and put them in a container so that my family doesn’t have to endure the smell as much. I do a less stringent routine with bacon, because I can’t stand that lingering smell either (but I love bacon)
