Potatoes are low in saturated fat, cholestero,l and sodium, as well as a good source of Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, potassium and manganese. They also go on sale frequently and are a great grocery budget stretcher. Last week when I found potatoes on sale at Safeway for $2 for 10 pounds, I stocked up!<\/p>\n

I had not had any trouble freezing potatoes. If I know I am going to freeze mashed potatoes I make them a little firmer than normal since frozen mashed potatoes can be a runny. I reheat, add a little milk and they taste great!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When it was time to process the potatoes I did it in two steps. The first day I peeled most of the potatoes. I kept some aside for loaded baked potatoes, grilled potatoes<\/a>, and potato skins, but I peeled the rest. I stored the potatoes in the fridge overnight in a bowl of water. I was a little worried the potatoes would turn brown but they didn’t.<\/p>\n

The next day I made:<\/p>\n

Jen’s Freezer Mashed Potatoes<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Laura’s Frozen Hashbrowns<\/a><\/strong> (seriously these are so good and easy!)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cooked Potatoes and Broth for Mel’s Potato Soup<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Shepherd’s Pie<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Skillet Potatoes<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Basic Mashed Potatoes <\/strong>(these were frozen in quart sized bags to use in Bee Rocks<\/a> and Potato Pancakes<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Baked Potato Chips <\/strong>(Total fail- maybe next time I should consult a recipe before I try it!)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

By the end of the afternoon I was totally sick of potatoes, but I was pleased with how much food I made for $4 plus extra ingredients. Any potato sickness I had disappeared when I tasted Laura’s hashbrowns. I always thought hashbrowns were difficult to make- wrong! These were so easy and really delicious!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Thanks so much for your potato suggestions a few weeks back. I now have potato recipes to last me through my next bulk potato purchase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
