Icemaiden

Depends how you are fixed for freezer space. I'd make some shepherds pies in tinfoil containers and chuck them in the freezer.

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"

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!
