I have so many that are partially damaged so i can not store them,i tried mashing some for freezing but came out too lumpy Has anyone roasted them and froze them??Thanks, any ideas more than welcome

slice and parboil they are great sauteed or deep fried ! After parboiling you should get away with freezing .

Thanks,scollops..great idea,ive not had them for yrs 
I thought about making hash brownies as an experiment but ive not googled a recipe yet

When I grew some, hubby didn't like them, so I froze them then used them for soups in the winter.

Did they Freeze Ok Grannie ? I was always told not to freeze raw potato

[MrsLev]

When they freeze the water molecules will separate from the starch so you couldn't just freeze them and pull them out and treat them as normal, they'd just be mush, but they'd be fine in soups, especially blended soups where you just need the thickness.

[GrannieAnnie]

I may have boiled them a bit first, but it was about 5 years ago.

What Mrs lev said about the water molecules is true.  I have the same trouble trying to explain the same thing to people about freezing tomatoes.  Our friends in the village tried it and Harry said they were horrible!  I think he tried them instead of fresh ones! 

But I don't remember the pink fir apple turnng to mush.......

Don't suppose you have a dehydrator because sliced up they dehydrate beautifully.

Pink fir apple have a lower moisture content than many other potatoes.

Last time I grew them (3 years ago) we had an amazing crop and I froze a lot down as 'oven chips', which worked very well indeed.

Blanch in boiling water 3 minutes, drain and dry, then shake up in a plastic bag with a tablespoon of sunflower oil and some thyme.

Open freeze on trays, then bag up when solid. Cook from frozen about 30 minutes.

Their not very big,i sliced them about 5mm..ish thick,i thought any thicker and they might not cook through but now i know chips are on the menu il prob not do more scollops..they look like slice frozen banana,i can see me getting muddled up if i dont label them
