This video was a great find. Mom asked about this so I did a RU-vid search. Tell me, after blanching you still have to finish cooking the potatoes according to what type of dish you're preparing right? I'm guessing there's no way to freeze fully cooked potatoes, right? Any ideas on how to accomplish this? 🙏🏾

I love food prep and I have to freeze because it's just me, but groceries are cheaper when bought in bulk so I spend a day cutting and freezing onions and bell peppers and other veggies and I spend an entire day meal prep cooking. I am a truck driver and work 5 days, so when I get home for my 2 days off I don't want to spend half the say cooking and cleaning. I pick one day of the month for shopping and prepping and can easily go 2 months just thawing and reheating my meals plus I have meals I take on the road with me. It's saved me so much money compared to nasty truck stop food 😅. With this economy every penny counts. Waste not want not so frozen taters will be great

Blanching tip: Filll a larger container or sink with water and ice then put your par cooked potatoes in a colander and put it down in the ice water then when retrieving cool blanched vegetables you don't have to separate potatoes from ice cubes.

Our local gas station has been selling nice big Idaho potatoes $2 for 10# vs $9 for 10# at the local Festival grocery store.

Processed potatoes are getting so expensive and who knows what they are treated with.

@peetsnort 2 года назад

Interestingly potatoes are freezed in the andes by the high elevation and its freezing night temperatures. The people add value to the crop because lower down they can't store potatoes and during the lean times they get a better price. They simply place the potatoes outside on the ground and lightly spray water during the subzero night temperature and then store once dried out. In skin. No peeling

I wish I had seen your video last summer. We bought 100#s of potatoes and most of them I canned. I froze 4 bags, and you are exactly right - because I did not blanch them, they turned a light brown color and would not cook. No kidding. It completely ruined a cheese potato casserole I have made for years - this year I used my own frozen potatoes and it was a bust.

@NormBaker. Год назад

I had a bag of potatoes that started sprouting heavily. I knocked off the sprouts. I microwave the whole potatoes and then froze them. I vacuum pack them for long storage. They came out watery after thawing because I only microwaved them only rare. But I can still cut them into small pieces. They make great fried potato hash or American fries. Probably would be good for mashed potatoes too.

@ByEya Год назад

Hi thank you for watching I don’t think the problem is the microwave process, I think the problem is thawing, I usually cook them straight from the freezer if you still have some in the freezer try and let us know, I am curious because I do cook potatoes in the microwave 😁 I just posted a video about it couple days ago on my Instagram (eya.s.corner)

@NormBaker. Год назад

@@ByEya The water of frozen vegetables evaporates faster then it can drain out during cooking. Of course I froze the whole potatoes. In that case I had to thaw to cut up.

Hi, you must always blanch then freeze in a flat containers, if the tray don’t fit just check anything you might have in the kitchen that fits in the freezer, my advice is : if you are using something that could stick like a plate you should use a parchment paper to avoid this.
