Last week a local grocery store had a one day only sale on potatoes. They were 10lbs. for $1.99.
I know right?
That is way cheap.
I only bought one bag.
We definitely eat our fair share of potatoes, but I was sure that we could not go through any more than that without them growing trees or something.
I hated not being able to stock up on these, I mean, seriously they were $0.20 a pound!
So in order to be able to take advantage of this kind of deal in the future, I decided to find out how, if even possible, to freeze potatoes.
Here are three ways that next time this deal rolls around, I will be making and freezing...
French Fries... of course, why that did not cross my mind at that moment, I have no idea. I found several sites that give detailed instructions, but Misplaced Recipes makes it easy.
Twice-Baked Potatoes.... Yes, please! I love bake potatoes and I really love twice-baked potatoes. Emily @ Joyful Abode shares great tips on baking and freezing twice-baked potatoes & potato skins.
Mashed Potatoes...Who knew you could freeze mashed potatoes? I guess I never really thought about it until last night when Jennifer @ Balancing Beauty and Bedlam's Make Ahead Mashed Potatoes post came through my feed on Facebook! A truly perfect recipe for sure!
Oh how I wish I would have snatched up at least a few of those 10 pound bags of potatoes, but alas I didn't. At least now I am prepared for any potato sale.
