When the kids were little they had some specials on potatos so I got some and froze some whole. They did fine in stew.

Bobco -- if you have a sack of potatoes that is threatening to expire, simply cook them all and mash -- freeze in portion sizes. When you thaw them, toss them in a pan with cream (or milk -- cream is better!) butter, and maybe a bit of seasoning, if you like it (we like dried chives).

They'll keep in the freezer like this for about a month -- although I've pushed it to two. They can also be used to thicken soups, etc. Simply chuck them in frozen.
