Freezing leftovers, will the potatoes turn to mush?
Will freezing this recipe that contains potatoes ruin the potatoes? I was thinking that it would turn them to mush when defrosted. Please tell me I am wrong, because I am dying to try this recipe. I am the queen of cooking large batches and freezing containers for when I am too busy to cook fresh, and for friends that I might not get to see for a few weeks.

Or: Just omit the potatoes from the stew, freeze, and eat without them once defrosted.
Or: Omit the potatoes from the stew when cooked & frozen, then boil some and add when you defrost and warm it up.
Or: Omit the potatoes from the stew when cooked & frozen, give with separate packages of another frozen starch (flour dumpling, matzo ball, polenta in squares or sticks, bread for putting under the grill) for use when you defrost the stew. Maybe even blocks of mashed potatoes, which freeze better than boiled ones.
Good luck.
