Compare that with the photo I posted earlier this month:
If anyone has some organic solutions for potato bugs, I'm listening!
Anywho...here's the harvest this morning plus the remaining onions:
Anyone out there freezing potatoes? I'd love to hear your tips!

I think so long as you cook them you should be fine. I've frozen mashed potatoes in the past. They freeze quite well.
Never froze potatoes before! But then, I always ate them before I had a chance to get them frozen...
In case it didn't show, I love "taters"...
Ours have been storing well so far, but I've successfully frozen both mashed potatoes (just in a container), roasted potatoes (in food saver bags), and twice baked potatoes (baked, insides scooped and mixed with toppings, re filled, then wrapped in saran wrap and all thrown in a ziploc).
All that weeding and then the bugs got em? BAH! Do they have time to come back? leave a few and see if they do-- I have seen plants stripped bare by hail come back-potatos are tough. I don't like freezing them--some kinds get watery and rubbery and some do fine and I can never get it together enough to know which will work!
I have to say that we were very fortunate that you shared this particular harvest with us. Those potatoes roasted BEAUTIFULLY!
Suggestion for the potato bugs: Neem oil spray. You mix up 1/2 tsp of Neem oil (google it), 1 1/2 tsp dishsoap (emulsifier) to 1 quart water. Use as a foliar spray. It's been good for us for everything except a few tenacious grasshoppers. Otherwise non-toxic, safe for kids and pets, and doesn't seem to bother traditional good/predator insects.
