Do I just wash,peel,cut and freeze...or do I need to let them dry a bit,and freeze in a single layer then bag up?? I'd like to do some homemade fries.

Tammy, you have to cook or blanch them first or they will turn black............

blanching I believe is cooking for a small amount of time BUT not cooking it all the way...

That's right Eileen ! Just dip in boiling water for about 30 seconds and let them drain well, too much moisture is not good for frozen foods.... (they will get freezer burn)
