So, can you freeze potato? Yes, but only if you’re not an idiot about it. Raw potatoes are a hard no. Cooked and properly prepped potatoes are a “heck yes.” Blanched fries are a “maybe.” Baked whole potatoes are a “please don’t.” If you follow these rules, you will never have to explain to your dinner guests why the mash tastes like sponge cake. And if you mess it up? Just call it “hash” and nobody will know. We’ve all been there. The potato forgives you.
Now go forth and freeze—but maybe buy an extra bag of chips
