Why do you need to blanch potatoes?
The need to blanch potatoes depends on what you are doing with your potatoes. Blanching not only partially cooks the the potatoes, but it also breaks down enzymes within the potatoes that is responsible for their turning black upon standing in the air (oxygen exposure). When roasting or frying potatoes, blanching them first partially cooks them through. When they are then cooked in oil or other fat, the cooking time is reduced, the potatoes are cooked through more evenly, and you minimize the risk of burning the outsides of the potatoes trying to cook them all the way through. Peeled potatoes exposed to oxygen in the air quickly turn brown and eventually black. Blanching potatoes that have had their skins removed breaks down the enzymes responsible for this unsightly color change. This allows potatoes to be stored, whether briefly on the counter top or long term in the freezer.

How do you prevent cooked potatoes from going black prior to making potato salad?
Sweet potatoes should not turn black when baking. If you have black spots on the skin (if unpeeled) then you are baking at too high a temperature. To make certain the potatoes are fully cooked, you can boil them first, then wrap them in foil, and bake at 350°F.If they are peeled and turning black, you are still baking at too high a temperature. Try covering the dish with foil, and never bake potatoes over 350°F. Again, boiling them first will help ensure full cooking.

What causes raw potatoes to turn black?
First, make sure this isn't happening because the potatoes have gone bad or that there is mold. Once that is ruled out, it is most likely just because of air exposure. Think, apples turn brown when left out in the air too long. This can happen to any fruit or vegetable as it is left without moisture or left to airate for a while. The potatoe is still edible, as it is just the outermost layer that has been exposed.
