Those who store potatoes on the balcony should remember that the tubers can freeze, and this will not only change the taste of the finished dish. It also happens that it is better not to cook a frozen vegetable.
How to understand that potatoes are frozen and what can be cooked from them.
When storing potatoes, two main problems arise: the tubers either freeze or sprout. In the interval between these failures, the tubers may begin to rot, wither, etc., but all this is a consequence of violation of agricultural technology and storage conditions.
Potatoes are frozen: signs
The surest way is to bring the suspicious tubers into the house and leave them at room temperature. After a couple of hours, you just need to try to cut the potato - if the color inside has not changed, then you can eat it. If the potato was cut (defrosted) only after 5-6 hours, then it will be sweet when cooked.
The main thing is that the vegetable does not start to rot. Otherwise, frozen vegetables are absolutely safe for health.
What to cook
The best option is to use frozen potatoes for draniki, kolduny or babka. It is possible that by draining off the excess juice and adding onions and spices to the vegetable mass, you can kill the sweetish taste.
