Healthy Potato Pancakes Meal Prep and Storage

Meal Prep

To meal prep these mashed potato pancakes you’ll want to start by choosing how many pancakes you want to make. One batch makes 8 pancakes, but the recipe card has a button (1x,2x,3x) to double or triple the recipe so you can make more pancakes should you desire. Make the pancakes according to the directions and cool completely. Cut out pancake sized squares of parchment paper, and add one between each pancake (to stop the pancake from sticking together).
Freeze the Entire Batch – Stack the mashed potato pancakes with parchment paper between each and move to a freezer bag or container. Add to the freezer. Will hold for 1 month.
Freeze Individual Portions – Choose how many you want per serving and stack the single serving of mashed potato pancakes with parchment paper between each. Add to a sandwich bag or small container, place in the freezer. Will hold for 1 month.
To Reheat: Microwave for 2-3 minutes. Or pop in the toaster, or place on a cookie sheet in an oven at 250 degrees for 5 minutes.

Storage

Store in the Fridge: Make the mashed potato pancakes according to the directions, cool completely. Cut out pancake sized squares of parchment paper, and add one between each potato pancake (so they don’t stick to each other). Then move to a freezer bag or container. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
