I clean and slice them. Whiz them in a salad spinner. Place them in a bowl of flour, shake, and lightly flour them. Lay on wax paper on a tray, fast freeze, and bag.
They're all ready to go when the butter is hot on Christmas morning. Add 10-15 at a time (keeping the butter hot) until skillet is full. Fry as usual, until crisp.
You'll never know they were frozen.
Glad you hauled in enough to ask! Woohoo!
