Hello friends, thank you for watching, I posted other freezer videos if you are interested these are the links.

This video was a great find. Mom asked about this so I did a TH-cam 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? 🙏🏾
Wow 🤩, my mind is blown away... I used to buy a 5lb bag of potatoes and the bag would sit in the pantry and go bad. I never knew this... now I’m going to have potatoes anytime and save 💰💰💰. Thank you so much for sharing.
I use my Instant Pot to steam the cut potatoes before freezing. Steam for 1 minutes, let the pressure release for 3 minutes, cool and then freeze. I have also parboiled them too. And I use my Food Processor to dice them or slice them. I've never shredded them and froze them though. Great Video. Thanks very much.
Thank you for all those great ideas, I like the steam idea, it will take less water since is in the instant pot. Do you put a lot of potatoes when you do it this way? Cause when I do my eggs (I have a short in the channel) I put as many eggs as I want and just little of water, all the eggs cook perfectly
this was great. there was a huge sale on potato at my local supermarket that we bought too many. now I can make bags of different potato stuff, some wedges, chips, have some potato ready for mash too. And also roast potatoes! thanks for this video.
Thanks for the tips. My hubby goes to the farmers market and buys potatoes in 50# bags and they start to go bad before I can use them all. This is a game changer…thanks again.
I am part Irish and I love my potatoes. Thank you so much for this video. I am definitely going to try this. I always buy a big bag of potatoes and can never finish them all. This is awesome.
Thank you so much for this video! With groceries prices going so high I have been using Instant potatoes and store bought frozen potatoes! This is definitely a game changer!
Very helpful! I'm prepping potatoes 🥔 and onions 🌰 today. BTW, I'm Jamaican and we put potatoes I'm lots of dishes...soups and curry chicken etc. Again, great video short and sweet!
I love Jamaican food😍😍😍 Yeah potatoes is our best friend in this house, between my husband's Jamaican food and my Tunisian food my freezer is always stuck up😁
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
Your amazing. I have never learned how to cook. But I started watching you one day, and I was quite surprised how easy it was. You really have changed my life. The things I have learned from you has taught me not to be afraid to go into the kitchen. It’s awesome. 😎 Thank you for sharing your videos. I’ll definitely keep watching you. Thanks again. 🎉👍💜😃
Phenomenal kitchen prep tip. My New Year’s goal is to cook more and waste less. All professional kitchens have prep cooks, so I guess it’s pretty obvious that the solution for home cooks is the same.
Our local gas station has been selling nice big Idaho potatoes $2 for 10# vs $9 for 10# at the local Festival grocery store. I keep going back and getting more once I have processed a couple bags so I don’t waste the bounty. Thanks, this is very good info!! Processed potatoes are getting so expensive and who knows what they are treated with.
Blessings to you and yours Mrs. Eya and to those reading this message...I personally have been freezer prepping foods and made that mistake with my raw French fries...Soooo because I DO NOT like wasting food I thawed and paper toweled them and sauted'em in less than an inch of olive oil inside a cast iron skillet with some sliced an diced onions, and some seasonings and WAALLA!! They turned out to be soooo delicious! BUUT I will remember to blanch my potatoes first Lol!! Thank u!🤳🏻☺️👍✨
I love potato skins and they are costly at the restaurant, as well as, the supermarket. I tried freezing potatoes b4. What a mess! I just received a 10lb bag of medium sized ones. I am gonna prepare them for making potato skins. Thanks for sharing.
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.
This is perfect, glad it was recommended! I’m growing my own produce this year so now I know how to freeze potatoes; I’m growing yellow gold and sweet potatoes. Ty! ❤️
Thank you so much! Oftentimes I can’t use up my potatoes before they sprout and end up planting them, which makes me have even more potatoes! I never knew how to freeze them. Thank you again.
I was just complaining to my husband that I’m buying bagged potatoes and then they rot, and then I had the idea to look up how to freeze them up, and here you are! Thank you for simple, helpful instructions without a lot of small talk. ❤️🙏🏻👵
Thank you so much Eya! I buy potatoes and they start sprouting and going bad every time, I'm going to start doing this, i dont like the bagged french fries because they have so much added oil, this way i can make them with the skin on which is healther. I love the idea of using the apple tool to cut them too! ❤
I am glad I could help, this is really amazing it saves me so much time and money check out my last video there is lots of advice about how to keep the produce fresh for longer time th-cam.com/video/c82gE-slg0w/w-d-xo.html
Thank you! Quick question: what is the defrosting process? If I want to make mashed potatoes, for example, do I simply defrost them at room temperature and then boil, can I boil them from a frozen state or do I place potatoes in the fridge to defrost?
This incredible, thanks to you, is is why i usually dont buy big bags of potatoes even if I'm getting them free. Indeed each one teach one. Now i know.Peace N blessings to you ❤️. Thank you.
You get quite a work out there using the apple 🍎 corer, you did a nice job .thank you for sharing this with us.I, think it is so nice that you girls and guys take the time out to share with us.nicely done.👍👍👍👍👍
Do we start counting the 5 minutes blanching time from when we put the potatoes into the boiling water OR after the water comes to boil again? Excellent instructions. Thank You for Sharing.
I never thought to use the apple cutter for potatoes. I love my kitchen gadgets but I restrict myself by only buying tools that have at least two uses. I can know buy the apple tool. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I actually never thought to freeze blanched potatoes. I haven't had much success freezing homemade mash, croquettes, gnocchi etc so I'll be trying your technique.

How do you reheat the potatoes for mashing? Do you thaw them overnight? Or boil/microwave them straight from the freezer? How long do you reheat them for? Thank you!
Hi, the potatoes are not fully cooked you still have to boil some water and throw them frozen inside that water until is fully cooked, if you thawed the potatoes they will turn brown
@@ByEya Thank you for replying! I'll try that the next time I decide to make mashed potatoes. I've blanched + froze them according to your instructions in the video :)
Can I grate baby red potatoes for hash browns & freeze & also would I blanch them whole & then grate them or? Please let me know when you have a minute,thanks
Hi 👋 I cannot tell as I never did it that way before, I know for fact that the vegetables need to be blanched after cutting them but in this case I am not sure
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
That is interesting, thank you for sharing this with us. I wish I could have a cold room or root cellar to keep my potatoes, onion, garlic, canned food there but as I am in Florida and it is impossible :(
wow! I never thought of cutting the potatoes with a apple slicer, I have one 1⃣, will organize my freezer and and cut them before they go bad. I usually just make mashed potatoes and potatoe weggies. Good idea. how long do they keep in the Freezer?.
I'm here like the rest of you because things are getting a little dicey and was told that you couldn't freeze potatoes. Grocery prices are going through the roof and instant potatoes kinda suck balls. Thank you for providing this video. Heading to the store tomorrow for some taters while I can.
Very good tips! I harvested my potatoes from my vegetable garden and I want to freeze them too! Just a quick question, Do you need to freeze them on a tray first or can I also put them straight in to zip-lock bags? My freezer is very small so a regular baking tray won't fit haha!
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. Please if you have any questions let me know and thank you for watching
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.
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)
@@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.

Same here, Barbara. Taught to not freeze potatoes, but companies sell frozen FF & mashed so why not? Have some now I need to freeze before they rot!

@@ByEyahow long do they keep once frozen? What's your process when you're ready to use them?

Any advice on how to use them correctly when coming out of the freezer? Defrost or not? When to cut? Cooking times compared to fresh potatoes?
Do not defrost just throw them in the pot or baking sheet straight to the hot oven, you should not have to cut anything since it’s already peeped
