I don't really know the answer to this one, but in view of the fact that you can buy frozen ready to cook roast potatoes, already partly done I would think you could freeze them. The question is how? Have you tried googling it (not the potatoes, the question)?

sorry society can't see anything on there about freezing them. Am I looking in the wrong place?

[crisgal]

have found out that i can par boil chips and spuds for roasting, or cubes, and then roast them from frozen!
Also, it hadn't occured to me to just make a mountain of mash and freeze that!

We've found that potatoes (of any variety) freeze better if they've been stored at near room temperature for at least a couple of weeks. We then peel them whole and boil until barely tender (fork won't quite go all the way in) and place them on a bake sheet in the freezer. Once they're frozen (usually overnight) remove them to a storage bag and freeze.
I found some time ago that investment in one of the vaccum pack machines has paid rewards handsomely. They really do work easily and extend frozen food usability to at least one year... cost about $100 here in the U.S.
