Sorry if i sound a bit thick

but he won't be home at a resonable time, and the dc are out for tea tomorrow so i don't know when i will use them but don't want to waste it - so can i boil them and freeze them?

Had the water heated up?

Can't you plate up his tea and he can microwave it? or make potato salad with the ones he would have had for lunch 2mo?

yes water has heated up and they are boiling

MOM - i doubt he'll be hungry when he gets home!

Mashed potato freezes ok. Can reuse later in fishcakes or shepherds pie.

I am off to have my tea but if you can wait a bit I will type out the various ways of freezing spuds!

oh NAB you don't have to do that, i just want to boil or mash them or something and then freeze them just don't know which is best way

don't go to any trouble please

Right I am back. I was thinking why don't you mash them and stick them in the fridge to have tmw.

You can mash them and freeze them, that should be fine. I do quite often, then use them in emergencies!

mashed and frozen

Thanks

well waiting to be frozen bit too hot yet!

or you could make him a small shephards pie

with left overs from another meal
