Instead of the smell test, consider how long your leftovers have been in the fridge since they were prepared. Different items have a different shelf life, so keep the following time frames in mind:
- Cooked pasta: Eat within 1-2 days
- Cooked rotisserie chicken: Eat within 3-4 days from the date of purchase
- Chicken, seafood, and pizza: Eat within 3-4 days
- Red meat and pork: Eat within 3-5 days

This site didn’t mention potato salad, so I looked that up separately. Most sites said 3-5 days, however, home-submitted responses said up to 10 days, and one said 12! I usually start with a deli mix, so I wouldn’t call that fresh, would you? Then I add cooked potatoes to taste, and some eggs and olives, or more onions, depending on taste. However, I don’t keep it over 4 days, so I have to have a big crowd.
