    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.

      @Barbara. I have been in the same boat as you, having a 5lb bag go bad and turn into brown smelly water! Now I know what to do.

      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!

    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.

      @ByEya  3 місяці тому +2

      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

      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.

They turned out to be soooo delicious! BUUT I will remember to blanch my potatoes first Lol!! Thank u!🤳🏻☺️👍✨
