potatoes galore


I found a blog that I've been enjoying. Her once a month cooking post on potatoes inspired me. So when Safeway had 10 pound bags of potatoes on sale for $1.99 last weekend, I had to give her method a try. I baked 20 pounds of potatoes and ended up with 4 freezer bags of twice baked potatoes, 1 freezer bag of mashed potatoes, and one pie tin of twice baked potato "guts". Now they just have to be heated in the oven when I'm ready to use them. I had everything else I needed to make them except cheddar cheese, I think my total cost for this was pretty cheap. I will definitely do potatoes again and am looking into other bulk cooking ideas. In the past I've done some things like doubling a recipe and freezing one to use later, I need to start doing that again.

What a great idea. we don't use potatoes very often. Now I have a reason to buy the 10 lb bag. Thank you for the blog link.
