Recipes to freeze that use potatoes

[onthefly]

yeah, I would suggest potato & leek soup too. Potatoes are nasty when frozen and thawed, butmaybe if pureed you wno't notice...?

I do pea and potato curry with a tomato-ey sauce. I will make it probably next week and blog the recipe, if you can wait that long?

I have enough potatoes they'll still be here next week- so yes, please PM your blog to me Thanks for the Bolivia tid-bits... I don't think I tried any fancy potato stuff in Bolivia. Damn.

Home made chips are good - you cut and par fry (or boil) them, freeze in a single layer on a tray then when they are frozen just pop them in a snap lock bag.

Really?? I'm so going to try this! Do I boil them chip shaped, or cut after boiling? And if I do that rather than frying should I just toss them on an oiled oven tray to cook later?

Thanks for the ideas. I have a leek so I'll make soup tomorrow and I'll try a couple of potato bakes too. Fingers crossed they aren't all icky!

Yeah, just oil them in a bowl, not too much and whack them in a hot oven (about 200c-220c or so), single layer, bit off salt and paprika
Cut them first, then par boil, won't take long and easier to cut them when they are raw.
You can also cut them into wedges and do them the same way, leave the skin on and season with some paprika and oregano, salt and pepper after you par boil, pop in the bag and freeze.

Let them cool though before you freeze them.

I made a big batch of leek & potato soup and tried some tonight to check how it is after freezing and it was yummy- so, a frozen potato success
