freezing meatballs?

Question

can I freeze potatoes meatballs or cutlets

Answer 1

You can freeze potatoes that have been cooked or blanched first; meatballs and cutlets can be frozen as well - for the meatballs, place cooked meatballs on a baking/cookie sheet and place in the freezer until frozen then place in an air tight container or Zip-Lock freezer bag. Remember to label and date anything you put into the freezer with the contents and the date frozen.

Answer 2

potatoes don't freeze well,meatballs,cutlets yes. You can freeze the meatballs raw to save time as long as the meat wasn't frozen,but once thawed then they have to be cooked before freezing.I like to make mine ahead of time and put them in tuppleware container so when I want them all I have to do is cook them.

Answer 3

Don't know about the potatos...you can freeze anything however, the meatballs and cutlets yes.

Turkey Meatball Recipe


Ingredients:

1 pound ground turkey. We use 93% fat free. 99% fat free is still a tiny bit dry.

2 tablespoons Parmesian cheese

1/4 teaspoon dried parsley

1 tablespoon onion, chopped fine

1/4 cup cracker crumbs

1 egg

1/4 cup milk

Directions:

1. Mix all of the ingredients together.

2. Form balls that are about one and a half to two inches around.

3. Brown the meatballs in a bit of oil or in a non-stick pan coated with non-stick spray for about seven minutes. Make sure they don't burn. We turn them over after a few minutes so they are browned evenly.

4. Add the meatballs to your favorite sauce and cook them for three additional minutes. This gives them some of the sauce's flavor, as well.


Making Meatballs in Bulk
If you find yourself wasting meatballs or you hate to cook, freezing meatballs for later is a great idea. For people who don't enjoy cooking, the best way to start is to make two batches of meatballs at once.

Cook your meatballs as you normally would, right up to the point where you'd drop them in the sauce. Instead of putting them in sauce, drain them and let them cool. Then, stick them on a cookie tray in your freezer for about an hour. When they are frozen, pop them off the cookie tray and bag them up in meal sized portions. I use my vaccuum sealer to suck out the extra air so they don't get freezer burned. (Pre-freezing your meatballs on the cookie sheets keeps them from sticking together and forming an unintentional meatloaf.)

Now, any time you get the urge for a meatball sub, grab a bag of frozen meatballs, thaw them, heat them in your favorite sauce and you're ready to go
