I also freeze extra milk. The lower the fat content the better it works. With higher fat milk you may get small chunks of cream when it thaws. If you're cooking with it, who cares, but if you want to drink it you can alway run it through a fine seive. You can freeze twice baked potatoes before you bake them the second time.

So easy and good! Or make twice-baked potatoes and put them in the freezer. You didn't say, though, what kind of potatoes you have, LOL! Obviously you need something you can bake for twice-baked. But if you have them, here goes: Bake the potatoes (or microwave.) I'm sure you know to 'vent' them. Cut off just the top quarter of the potato. This will make a much sturdier twice-baked than cutting them in half. Scoop out the goodies and make mashed potatoes with your milk. Add some cheese, bacon, sour cream, cream cheese--whatever floats your boat. Now put the good stuff back inside the potatoes and put the caps back on. Wrap each individually with plastic wrap then throw the whole lot in a bigger bag or other container. Put them in the freezer. You can take out one or two or all of them as needed. (You can either thaw them out overnight or just add some extra cooking time to reheat them frozen.) Now, for potato soup: Bake the potatoes and scoop out the innards. Mash them up, but don't add anything to them. In a pot, melt a stick of butter. Add one half cup of flour and stir with a whisk. Let it cook about 2 minutes. (This is called a roux, but you probably knew that!) Now add 4 cups of milk and stir until thickened. Add your potatoes and then any spices you like. Onion and garlic would be nice, as would dill. Top with bacon, sour cream, cheese, whatever. As you can see, neither of these recipes is carved in stone. A formula for gravies and cream soup: 4/4/4--that's 4 oz. butter (a stick), 4 oz milk and 4 cups of liquid. 4 cups of chicken stock with the milk and butter makes gravy. Have fun! I hope you make good use of your potatoes. At the very least, make mashed potatoes--they freeze and reheat beautifully! Yes, potato soup. So easy and good!
