Use Those Potatoes and Save!!!!

            The other day I was walking through my store's produce department and noticed they had 10lb bags of russet potatoes for $2.65 compared to the normal price which was around $4.00. Now this was a good deal and since there are a lot of uses for potatoes I decided to buy a couple bags and freeze what I couldn't use.
           
           Most people have probably seen the frozen fries, hashbrowns, and other potato products. Why not save a little money by making your own. All you have to do is buy some potatoes, cut them into the shapes and sizes you prefer, and freeze then in individual baggies.

            #TIP: When freezing the potatoes lay the cut potatoes on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper and freeze for 30min before placing in bag, to keep potatoes from freezing together.

HERE's a few ideals for prepping potatoes before freezing
1. Shredded potatoes

2.potato wedges

3.potato fries

4.cubed potatoes

5.sliced potatoes

            I hope that this has given you a few ideas on how to take advantage of a great deal on potatoes, so you can save a little money.
