I was given 20 lbs. of Potatoes...HELP!

[roliepolieoliefan]

Honestly, 20lbs wouldn't last long in our house

I agree. I have a 15 yo boy who eats three times as much as my husband . I cut up 8 large potatoes for Parmesan fries yesterday.

DD doesnt like them, I ate about 7 fries . DH ate about 20 fries and DS ate the rest and was whining I didnt make enough.

I slice up potatoes, put them on a lined cookie sheet, drizzle them with olive oil, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper, then bake in the oven until they're brown.

Yummy!

I was given 20 lbs of potatoes and I am looking for recipes to use them in. I already do potato soup and baked potatoes.

What recipes do you have and recommend for potatoes? If you can post your recipe that would be very helpful too. Thanks.

You can mash them and freeze them for later.

Homemade perogies. I would spend a day making them and then freeze for future meals.

Saw this recipe on Facebook the other day:

POTATO PUFFS
Ingredients
3 cups of mashed potatoes
2 eggs
1/3 cup sour cream (optional extra for serving)
1 heaping cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons chopped chives or parsley
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Directions Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease with butter 8 - 9 of the wells of a nonstick muffin pan. In a medium mixing bowl whisk the eggs then mix in the sour cream. Stir in both cheeses and the chives. Add potatoes and mix well. Spoon them into the pan filling the cups to slightly below the top. Bake 25- 35 minutes until they pull away from the sides of the cup and are golden brown. Remove from oven and let them cool 5 minutes in pan. Serve with sour cream if desired.

THIS....we do it all the time and eveyone loves it. We also love them with Parmesan cheese and garlic. I do line my pan with foil and spray good with pan as they tend to stick sometimes.

I line my pan too, just forgot that part.

I made a big casserole dish of scalloped potatoes with ham the other night.

And we have roast beef or pork quite often in the winter with chunked potatoes, carrots, onions, celery and fresh mushrooms.

I use potatoes in my homemade hamburger vegetable soup.

Slice them thin (don't peel them) and put into a large bowl along with some olive oil, garlic and spices then I stir that well, and put them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake them in the oven.

Shred them to make hash browns for breakfast.

So many things you can do with potatoes, 20 pounds can be used pretty quickly. And they will "keep" quite awhile before you use them all up, if kept in a dark, cool place.

Mashed potatoes freeze very well. I would mash them, portion them out into containers, then pop them in the freezer for later.

I recommend this also. We do this all the time.

 

[auntfrannie]

Why not just store them in a cold dark place? My parents always bought 50 lbs every fall and stored them in the fruit cellar.

20 lbs wouldn't last long at all here. If I want to make something different like soup I have to get extra. I use 5 to 7 lbs of potatoes every time I make potatos so 20 lbs would last me a little more than 3 meals.

[jevierling]

Irish nachos!

 

[lauradis]

potato pancakes german style is my favorite.

frozen mash potato are easy to do just make in portions you would normally eat. they can get little watery so dont add butter or milk extra till after defrosted.

 

[laurafergie]

I just put a good part of a 50lb bag of russets in the freezer. Bake 1hr. It doesn't matter if they are a little under done. Let cool over night. Since i didn't have room in the fridge, I just put them in the garage. It was around 20 degrees, They were fine. Then run them through the grater of your food processor or hand grate. Package and freeze in ziplocks. Hashbrowns!

 

[shortbun]

We could go through 20lbs in a week, easily. We make a biiiiig pot of mashed then use them for pancakes, shepherd's pie, with a meatloaf, bake a chicken with parsley potatoes, cut up and bake fries, Baked potatoes...all gone.

 

[elphaba91]

Potato salad! Cube the potatoes then steam them until they're just starting to go soft. Add a little bit of mint jelly (it seriously tastes amazing!) then leave the potatoes to cool. Finally add mayonnaise.

 

[Sadie22]

I bake ten pounds of potatoes at a time for twice-baked potatoes for the freezer. Slice the cooked potatoes in half, scoop out the insides and mix with spinach or broccoli bits, stuff the shells with the mixture, then freeze on trays. When frozen, place in zipper bags. For serving, heat in microwave. Top with cheese if desired.
