(or whatever amount you want to work with.) Cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. 2  Simmer the diced potatoes in salted water until just tender. 3  Spray a sheet pan with non-stick cooking oil and spread cooked potatoes in a single layer on the pan. 4  Place the pan of diced potatoes in the freezer until frozen solidly.
