Step 1

Prepare the potatoes. Cut the potatoes into whatever shape you plan to use them down the road, and peel if desired.

Step 2

Parboil. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook until they’re just fork-tender, approximately 3-5 minutes, depending on the size of your cuts.

Step 3

Cool in an ice bath. Remove the potatoes from heat and put them into an ice bath to stop the cooking.

Step 4

Drain. Drain the potatoes well in a colander or sieve, shaking it a few times to remove as much water as possible.

Step 5

Freeze. On a baking sheet, place the potatoes in one layer without touching. Slide the baking sheet into the freezer and freeze for 6-12 hours, or until the potato pieces are frozen hard.

Step 6

Seal and freeze. Remove the frozen pieces and place in a Ziploc bag, squeezing to remove as much excess air as possible. Return to the freezer.

Rochelle Bilow

Bring a medium pot of water to a rolling boil on the stovetop. Add all of the pearl onions and keep at a boil for 2 minutes. 

Strain the onions directly into a colander or mesh sieve.

Transfer the blanched onions to a large ice water bath and let sit for 2 to 5 minutes. 

Strain the onions, removing any ice cubes and shaking off excess water.

Place a pearl onion on its side on a cutting board. Hold the onion steady by its stem side and slice off the root end, as close to the root as possible.

Use your thumb and forefinger to pinch the stem and push the onion out through the opening created by the root end. The onion will pop out. Discard the root and paper, and repeat with the remaining onions.
