What to do with a huge amt of russet potatoes?

We've already done baked potatoes this week. I don't have any potato soup recipes I am crazy about. 

Can I make and freeze mashed potatoes? Anything else?

    If you like potato skins you could make those and freeze them! Real easy to make and they'd be yummy for a snack or to go with lunch.

    IMHO - Potatoes don't freeze the best.  The texture comes out weird/off, but it could work with mashed potatoes since you don't notice it as much.

    I've made shepherd's pie a few times and frozen it to reheat it.  My cheesy potatoes and ham recipe could probably be made with real potatoes but I'm not sure about the texture. I do have an amazing potato soup recipe if you want it, but you mentioned you didn't love potato soup so...

    What about oven fries or fries in general?  Can those be frozen?  I've never tried.

    I've made freezer mashed potatoes several times. The recipe I have uses cream cheese, butter, milk, I don't have it in front of me, but they freeze well and reheat really nice too.

    My kids loves fries made in the oven.  I just cut into thick "strips", add a little olive oil, salt, pepper, then bake.  not sure about freezing though

    How about just storing them in a cool, dark place and using them as you want to? You don't need to gorge yourself on potatoes. They store well.

    Make twice baked potatoes and freeze them!  I did this for the holidays last year and served them instead of mashed potatoes.  It was one less thing for me to make on Christmas day.

    This is the recipe I use, and they are amazing.

    I've never frozen them, but I have used this recipe several times and they are a hit! So yummy.
