Instructions
Freezing potato wedges
- Peel the potatoes, or wash them if you prefer to make potato wedges with the skins on. Cut them into similar sized wedges. Add the wedges to a freezer bag, and freeze.
Freezing whole potatoes
- Peel or wash the potatoes. Add them to a freezer bag, and freeze. When you want to use the potatoes, you should thaw them in the fridge overnight. Keep in mind that they can take a while to thaw all the way through, especially if the potatoes are large.
Freezing potato cubes
- Peel the potatoes, or wash them if you prefer to use cubed potatoes with the skins on. Cut them into similar sized cubes. Add the potato cubes to a freezer bag, and freeze.
Freezing potato slices
- Slice the potatoes and place them on a sheet pan or in a freezer safe baking dish. Place this in the freezer, and wait for a few hours. When the potatoes are slightly frozen, you can transfer them to a freezer safe container for permanent freezer storage. This method will prevent the potato slices from freezing solid into one large chunk.
Freezing cooked potatoes
- You can freeze any steamed or boiled potatoes. Place them on a sheet pan or in a freezer safe baking dish. Transfer the tray to a freezer, and leave the potatoes to freeze. After a few hours, you can move the potatoes to a freezer safe container for permanent freezer storage.
Notes
Can you re freeze potatoes that have been thawed? – This is typically not recommended for food safety reasons.
Can you freeze potatoes that have been baked or roasted? – I would not recommend it. These potatoes simply don’t tend to taste very well when thawed.
