Hi all at our allot. site the blight is running mad, most people are lifting the potato's, so I have been doing the same, though some are still looking healthy. Can I use the lifted potato's to boil then freeze and store in freezer?
Not a method I've tried... think they may disintegrate on thawing... :-\

i agree ???
For roast potatoes at a later date, you can parboil them, then drain and toss in hot oil/ fat. (Make sure well drained or the oil will spatter very fiercely). Allow to cool, then freeze loosely in a bag. Cook from frozen.
You can buy frozen rostis (e.g. from M&S) so there must be a way if doing that as well :)
Or just store in sacks, you don't have to dig them up though, just chop off the top growth and then the blight won't travel down the stem into the spud. ;D ;D ;D
thanks to all who responded will start peeling and freezing tonight.
