How do you blanche potatoes?

Answer 1

To blanch, boil potatoes with or without their skins in unsalted water for 4 to 5 min. Chill them in ice water for 4 to 5 min, drain well, pack into containers, remove air, seal and freeze.

Answer 2

You will want a gallon of water per pound of potatoes.

Bring water to boil.

Peel and cut potatoes into uniform sizes.

Put into water and boil three to five minutes or until soft.

Note. Water should reach 180F

When cooked take from boiling water and put into iced water.

Leave in iced water as long as in boiling water.

Dry and pack for freezer.
