What is the Best Way to Freeze Whole Cooked Potatoes?

What is the best way to freeze whole cooked potatoes?

Omaha Steaks did a great job a few years ago, marketing whole cooked Idaho potatoes as a side dish offering. They achieved this by allowing the potatoes to cool, then using a vacuum packaging unit (such as Cryovac) to preserve the desired quantities/volume. This is an effective way of removing excess air, and these systems typically use heavy-duty wrapping that extends shelf life and helps prevent freezer burn.

The Idaho Potato Commission

Established in 1937, the Idaho Potato Commission (IPC) is a state agency that is responsible for promoting and protecting the famous "Grown in Idaho®" seal, a federally registered trademark that assures consumers they are purchasing genuine, top-quality Idaho® potatoes. Idaho's ideal growing conditions, including rich, volcanic soil, climate and irrigation differentiate Idaho® potatoes from potatoes grown in other states.
