Temperatures are heating up here and I hate to turn on the oven and heat up the house. Now is the time of year that I get busy gardening and canning and such so this is the time of year that I like to premake food to save time. I use my crockpot lots, grill outdoors, eat lots of salads and premake meals. I dug about 8 pounds of potatoes and made twice baked potatoes to freeze. It was a rather simple process. I simply rubbed my cleaned potatoes with olive oil and coarse salt. Then I baked them for about an hour and fifteen minutes at 350 or until soft. Then I allowed to cool for about a half hour and then split and spooned out the insides and mashed. To the mashed insides of the potatoes I added sour cream, chives, bacon bits, cheese, salt and pepper. Then I took the mashed potato insides and spooned back into the shells and then sprinkled with cheese and bacon bits and froze on baking sheets. Once frozen I removed them from the baking sheets and wrapped the individual halves in aluminum foil and added them back to the freezer. I take them out in the mornings that I want to eat them and unwrap and defrost to cook in the oven, in the microwave or on the grill. A great addition to a summer salad and grilled vegetables fresh from the garden. I find they are good for about 3 months in the freezer just wrapped in foil.
