I use these frozen potatoes in stews, for casseroles, or when cooking a roast.<br /><br />Put on a pot of water to boil and bring it to a FULL boil. Fill sink or bowl with cold water and add ice cubes. <br /><br />Start by peeling and chopping your potatoes. Add your chopped potatoes to boiling water and blanch (boil) for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from boiling water and immediately put into ice water. Put into freezer safe containers or ziplock bags and freeze. <br /><br />Do not use potatoes that are aging and wrinkled. What comes out of the freezer is only as good as what went into it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12670461716038876587noreply@blogger.com
