No

Me to neither. If I have leftover baked potatoes it is usually because I planned to have it with other leftovers from the same meal.

No, I wonder how it would turn out. I've frozen potatoes as part of a stew, but never by themselves.

nope

Yeah, their texture changes, not for the better.

I tried making breakfast burritos, putting potatoes in them, then freezing. Yuck! Mushy and watery.

I wouldn't. Potatoes tend to go weird when they're frozen. If it's something you can stir up well, like mashed potatoes or potato soup, you can rescue them, but I can't imagine being able to rescue a whole potato.

The texture does change. The flesh pulled away from the skin and hardened.

Lucille, I've saved them for a day or two, then chopped them up and browned in a skillet rather than toss them, but not frozen them. I have made individual hot turkey or hot beef sandwich with meat, gravy and mashed potato, seal-a-meal bags and frozen, find the mashed potato acceptable in those.

Thank you for your answers. I bought a bag of baking potatoes from Costco and they are huge. I thought it might save time and bake several, but it looks like that was not a good idea.

I also bought a big bag of potatoes and had planned on using them for scalloped potatoes so thought I would just make extra scalloped potatoes and then freeze. Apparently it works quite well according to the web. I have tried freezing potatoes without any sauce or anything on it and the answer is a no go for me as well.

In a conversation about frozen fries I was told that freezing potatoes turns them to sugar. In a stew that would be a minor issue, but if that baked potato was your dinner it wouldn't be very nourishing.

I never have any baked potatoes left over. I select one or two potatoes that I want for one meal and bake those in the microwave. Eat potato and no left over.

Jemdandy that is what I'm going to do except recently I started doing the 'potatoes in jackets' high heat oven method (I saw posted right here on the KT) which results in tasty edible skins so I don't nuke them any more.

Potatoes are mostly starch. When you eat any hot potato your body turns the starches in it into sugar (glucose).

If you chill or freeze _raw_ potatoes, the starches can be converted to sugar, which results in potatoes that turn black when you cook them.

My holiday mashed potatoes freeze beautifully.

When I bake a potato in the microwave, I leave the skin on. I thoroughly wash it, though, and inspect it for bad spots and remove those. Very often, I bake a potato to cut open while hot to pour hot chili over it.

I have no problem with mashed potatoes or stuffed baked potato, which is seasoned mashed potatoes in the potato skin. I think that the butter, milk, and cheese keep the potato flesh nice.

Potatoes in soup or anything else turn nasty in the freezer. I, also, cook baked potatoes at high heat in the oven, but I will cook only one or two at a time, just what I need for that meal. They are not good left over, even in the frig. If I cook more, it is to make the twice baked stuffed potatoes as a planned leftover/freezer meal.
