I boil and mash the swede, freeze in portions, similar with potatoes, either mash portioned or roast, carrots and parsnips I just freeze as is.thinking on I think the potatoes were a new potato type, I would cook partially, I seem to recall freezing some once and they were mushy and very watery with no prep.Do I need it or just want it.0

We froze carrots in chunks recently but then defrosted and roasted them and they weren't nearly as nice as freshly roasted carrots - the texture had changed.
We've had more success with leeks, where freezing seemed to intensify the flavour.
Don't think I'd bother to freeze potatoes as we don't eat a lot of mash.0 -
Thank you, that's really helpful

Taken out tomorrow's dinner from the freezer:
2 x Tesco finest fish pies (35p each)
Will be served with a 39p steam pack of veg from FarmFoods :T

Any idea what to do with a couple of kilos of carrots - other than soup and stew?
Thankies.That sounds like a classic case of premature extrapolation.

Mash them? U can freeze it if you need to.
I can, but I'd like to something slightly more interesting and eat them.That sounds like a classic case of premature extrapolation.

The only interesting thing I have done with carrots was a Thai carrot salad that I found on the internet0
