Has anyone frozen diced or sliced potatoes before? No matter how I store them my fresh potatoes always go bad, so I often use frozen diced potatoes from the store for soups, etc.

Thought I’d try to freeze some myself since a bag of potatoes is cheaper.

Online sites say to parboil, and freeze flat before putting in a bag so they don’t stick together.

Any other tips for the newbie? Going to try both slices and diced.

Should I try french fry style? Or ideas about skin on or off?

I don’t want to throw a whole bag out because I was dumb

I have frozen them cut into fries and cube, rinse well, dry thoroughly, freeze flat on parchment lined pan so they’re all separate, then put in sealed bags or containers.

They need to be blanched or cooked a bit first. I’ve made fries before by airfrying them a bit, put on a baking sheet with wax or parchment paper to freeze.

Then putting in a freezer bag and back in the freezer.

I think I did the blanching process wrong last time (which was my first time) I need to try again.

Do you blanch the whole potato or do you you cut them first?

I use to have potatoes go bad quite quickly. I now examine the bag before purchasing for any bad looking ones and pass on that one.

Once I do bring them home I open them and put them in a paper towel lined open, small storage bin.

The paper towels absorb the moisture that potatoes let off. I have had them last 4-6 weeks like this.
