1. Finalise shopping orders/lists for your christmas food shop.. remember shops are only closed for one day!!!! No idea what we're going to have - except loads and loads of roast potatoes :rotfl:Think I might start peeling and parboiling some of them this evening ready to freeze

1. How do I do this? I didn't know you could freeze potatoes! Where have I been for the 14years since I left home??

Hi,

I've never done it before! I read it on another thread (homemade convenience foods I think it was) and a few people say they do it. Some par-boil then freeze, others par-boil, roast for about 10 minutes then freeze, and cook from frozen (apparently makes them crispier). I've peeled a whole load of spuds this morning and a bit later on I'm going to par-boil then partly roast - when I put the oven on for doing something else!
