Yes, you can freeze them. The best way is to shape them, freeze them on a tray until solid, then store them in a freezer bag with parchment between layers.

Since the potatoes are already lightly cooked, there’s no need to cook them more before freezing. Just fry them straight from frozen until golden and heated through.

I am wondering if you can freeze these…and if you can how? Would I just cook them part way or not cook them at all?

Thank you for you help, God Bless!

Comment on The Best Fried Chicken Gizzard Recipe by Sarah Berthold https://cookingfrog.com/the-best-fried-chicken-gizzard-recipe/#comment-67441 Mon, 12 Jan 2026 16:03:34 +0000 https://cookingfrog.com/?p=3392#comment-67441 In reply to Gary Deatherage.

Yes Gary, you can definitely make them in an air fryer and they come out really good. They won’t have that exact “deep-fried” crunch, but you can still get a crispy coating as long as you don’t crowd the basket and you give them a light spray of oil. I usually run the air fryer hot around 400°F , flip them once halfway, and keep going until they’re nicely golden. If they look a little pale or dry at first, another quick mist of oil helps a lot.

I don’t have a deep fryer.

Comment on Starbucks Carrot Cake Copycat Recipe by Sarah Berthold https://cookingfrog.com/starbucks-carrot-cake/#comment-56242 Wed, 10 Sep 2025 16:20:37 +0000 https://cookingfrog.com/?p=11518#comment-56242 In reply to Sarah.

Thank you so much for catching that, Sarah! You’re absolutely right — the instructions were confusing. This recipe is meant to be baked in two 9-inch round pans for a layered carrot cake (not a 9×13 dish). I’ve updated the recipe to make it clearer. Really appreciate you pointing it out, and I hope you enjoy the cake!

Peggy, thank you so much for pointing that out! You’re absolutely right — removing biliverdin is just as important as trimming the fat, and it can make all the difference in taste. I’ve updated the recipe to include that step so first-timers don’t miss it. Really appreciate you sharing your tip!

Comment on How to Make Authentic Maritozzi (Italian Sweet Bun) by Sarah Berthold https://cookingfrog.com/how-to-make-maritozzi/#comment-50688 Fri, 18 Jul 2025 15:04:28 +0000 https://cookingfrog.com/?p=6324#comment-50688 In reply to oren.

Hey Oren, thanks for catching that! The recipe actually calls for a full cup of lukewarm milk, not just 1/3 cup, along with the eggs and other wet ingredients. I’ve updated the recipe to clarify that point and to help avoid confusion. If you try again, the dough should be much softer. Thanks for your comment—it helps a lot!
