Servings: 1 pound
Ingredients
- 1 pound potatoes
- Water
Instructions
- Wash and peel the potatoes and cut into pieces.
- Boil the potatoes in a pot of boiling water until they are almost cooked. They should be tender but firm.
- Fill a large bowl with ice-cold water and add the potatoes. This will prevent them from continuing to cook. Drain and set the potatoes aside to cool.
- Place the potatoes on a large tray or cookie sheet. Be sure to leave enough room so the potatoes are not touching.
- Place the tray into the freezer and freeze for six to 12 hours, until the potatoes are completely firm and frozen.
