How to Boil Potatoes So They Can Be Frozen & Preserved
- 1). Ensure that the potatoes are matured, but not decaying, bruised or rotting.
- 2). Peel the potatoes and separate the potatoes by size making a small, medium and large pile.
- 3). Bring a pot of water to a boil. Use approximately 1 gallon of water per 1 lb. of potatoes. Add the potatoes and observe until the water reaches a rolling boil. A rolling boil is described as water that continually produces bubbles in more than just the center of the pot.
- 4). Allow the potatoes to boil for three to five minutes. Larger potatoes should boil for five minutes. Smaller potatoes should boil for three minutes.
- 5). Remove the potatoes from the water and drain them using a strainer.
- 6). Place the potatoes in a vacuum seal bag and vacuum seal them.
- 7). Label and store the bags in the freezer for up to 12 months.
