frozen potato wedges?

Hi everyone

Can't believe it is Monday already :confused:

Just before Christmas Tesco messed up my grocery order and delivered seven massive bags of potatoes .... there are only four of us here :rotfl:

I have frozen some as mash, and parboiled and frozen some for roasties. I am going to bake some in the oven and freeze them after I have mashed the middle up with butter and cheese - not tried this before but hopefully it will work. I plan to get them out and cook them from frozen.

I am fed up of peeling potatoes so I wondered ..... if I cut some into wedges and parboil them, could I then freeze them on a tray for wedges?

Thanks guys :)

    Yes, you can. I make batches of oven chips the same way.

    I do it slightly differently. I wash, cut into wedges, oil and season and then roast for 20 mins turning once. they are then par roasted freeze flat then tip into a bag and just put a handful on an oven tray and roast for 20 ish mins to finish when you want.

    If i am cooking something like a sunday roast i have been known to do a 5kgbag of potatoes like this to freeze for ease during the month
