Steps:

• 1. Choose potatoes with firm flesh, few bruises, and no sprouts.
• 2. Wash the potatoes. Scrub off the dirt and debris with a stiff-bristled brush.
• 3. Peel the potatoes. Use a peeler to remove the potato skin, or if you're working with new potatoes, scrape it off. Rinse the potatoes to prepare them for blanching.
• 4. If the potatoes are large, chop them in half before blanching.
• 5. Don't cut the potatoes into small pieces; it's better to store them whole if possible.
• 6. Bring a large pot of water to boil over high heat. In the meantime, prepare a large bowl with ice water and set it aside.
• 7. Plunge the potatoes into the boiling water. Allow them to blanch for 3 to 5 minutes. This process cleanses the potatoes of organisms and preserves their flavor and color.
• 8.Remove the potatoes from heat and place them in the ice water.
• Transfer the potatoes directly from the pot to the ice water bath using a slotted spoon or tongs.
• 9. Allow them to cool for about ten minutes.
• 10. Drain the potatoes when they are chilled, and pat them dry.
• 11. Place the potatoes in airtight storage bags. You may also use a freezer-safe container.
• Make sure the potatoes aren't wet when you place them in the bags, or ice will form.
• 12. Put enough potatoes in each bag to make a meal for your family. This way you'll be able to defrost exactly as many as you need at once.
• Store the potatoes in the freezer. They will keep for up to a year.
