How long would you roast the potatoes for that you want to freeze? I've thought about making some to shove in the freezer for days when i'm feeling lazy!
DD doesn't like mash potatoes so thats out!
Cheese and potato pie was one of the things we made in cookery at school!

When i do my roasties, i always cook extra, and freeze them fully cooked, the next sunday take them out of the freezer, straight into the oven for about 30 mins, they go slightly darker, but still come out lovely and crispy!!!!

Yes, sprouty potatoes are fine, it's only if they turn green you need to throw them out - I can't remember what they call the poisoning when potatoes turn green?

If are going to make cheese and potatoe pie (especially if you've got cheese in the fridge you want to use) you can make it and freeze it once it has cooled no problem.

The green parts of potatoes are caused by 2 toxins called solanine and aflatoxin, they can both affect the nervous system..... but you have to eat huge quantities to be affected so I wouldn't worry about eating a few bits.
