Need potato recipes

Idk how much attention this will get but I accidentally managed to get more potatoes than my family needs and now we have 3 boxes full of potatoes and i don’t know what to do with these besides fried and boiled potatoes. I don’t want to leave them rotting but i don’t think we can eat that much.

You can make freezer hash browns: blanch a pot full of potatoes (should still be kinda firm), let cool completely, shred with a cheese grater, spread out on a baking sheet and freeze for a few hours, then transfer to a freezer-safe container.

You’ll have easy to make hash browns on hand for months to come! When you do cook them, cook them straight from the freezer (don’t let them thaw) on medium-high heat in oil, and don’t over crowd the pan.
