Freezing potatoes for roasting...

[ElphabaTheGreen]

...can this be done?

Peel, cut to appropriate size, parboil, open freeze then into a freezer bag/s. Would that work? Or would they go a peculiar colour and go a strange texture from the freezing process?

Could I roast from frozen or would I have to defrost first? (Thereby risking aforementioned discolouration...?)

TIA!

Yep, I always do this! Cook straight from frozen. Delish.

Yep, parboil, rough up, coat in semolina and leave to cool. Freeze and shake about once frozen so that they don't stick together.

roasting from frozen is fine but better defrosted IMO.

Would work fine. I do it all the time (we don't eat a lot of spuds so had a lot of waste before)

And yy, you can cook from frozen. If you do them for 20 - 30 minutes you get a sort of fluffy mashy hybrid, they need a good 40 mins to crisp up. But we quite like the fluffy hybrid ones too.

Actually, I don't even open freeze them, I just toss them in a bag with a slug of oil, freeze, then break off the amount I need...

Yippee!

Now that bag of potatoes left over from my batch cooking frenzy the past couple of days doesn't look nearly so forlorn. And I'll have roasties ready to go with the cauli-broc cheese I made

Thanks, MNers, thanks!
