    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 put them in the fridge, but they eventually start going bad that way too, so yeah, this is a better long term solution

      ​​@@ByEyahow long do they keep once frozen? What's your process when you're ready to use them?

  • @barbiek3987
    @barbiek3987 Před 3 měsíci +8

    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
      @ByEya  Před 3 měsíci +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

    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.

      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.

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