Freezing Potatoes


What Do You Do With A 50 lb Bag Of Potatoes?

Found a great deal and bought a bag of potatoes for $7.97 ($0.16/lb).  Bought it and stored it in our basement thinking they would last for a while.  We made mashed potatoes, BBQ baked potatoes, and potato pancakes.  Unfortunately, our basement must be too warm with the wood stove down there so at the end of two weeks our potatoes were sprouting.  : (  We decided to try and freeze them after blanching them for 5 minutes in boiling water.




CONCLUSION:

Success!
They cook up beautifully into mashed potatoes when
thawed and cooked until tender.  : )
