I triedthis recipe so excited to have a freezer meal that wasnt chicken for once. The potatoed turned black in the freezer and when cooked it looked like soup.. not cheesy at all.
Did you have any issues with your potatoes turning? The last time I froze potatoes they were brown and black when I took them out of the freezer.
Par boil potatoes 8 min. put in cold water to cool. Follow the rest of the recipe.
How many servings does this make and what is the weight of the ham?
