    Depends how you are fixed for freezer space. I'd make some shepherds pies in tinfoil containers and chuck them in the freezer.
    :D I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe :D

    Ice maiden,

    If you check the mega index (it's a sticky at the top of the OS board) then click on cooking and recipes, theres lots of ideas for potatoes listed under "vegetables"

    HTH ;)

    Edit: Potato soup recipe

    Forgot to stick this in, easy and very very tasty!!

    You can make chips and freeze them into individual bags ready to cook when needed.

    Panacalty - is that spelt right, never rally thought about how it is spelt. Any, it is layers of sliced potato and corned beef and onion, with gravy.

    I also do a version without the meat replaced with vegetables.

    Fab idea, do I cook them first or leave them raw?

    Roast pots, would I defrost these before putting them back in the oven or can they be cooked from frozen? Sorry never frozen them before! :confused:
