Potatoes and onions will both last a long time in a cool basement

Whatever you think you won't finish, cube em, cook them to 75% done, let them cool, place in breakfast sized freezer bag, put in freezer, and when it's time to eat them for breakfast in a month, fry up a few pieces of bacon, throw potatoes in. Quick, tremendous breakfast.

Also, cube potatoes and onions, throw into crock pot wit chunk of beef and a couple cans of Mushroom soup concentrate, water, and apple cider vinegar, cook overnight, eat.

Make Onion soup with the onions.

Buy 10 lbs of malted Barley, mix it with 15 gallons of water and the 50lbs of peeled potatoes and make your self a nice Vodka.

Wife loves to cook with potatoes.
1 Potato soup. Bacon helps.
2 Scalloped potatoes.
3. Hash brown potatoes.
4. Onion soup
5. Onion dip.
These will both dehydrate very well; get a dehydrator and dry 'em out.

go to allrecipe.com for some good ideas.

I cooked batches of mashed potatoes in the instapot and froze them.  I have chopped up onions and green peppers froze them for steak and used onions for omelets.

This.  I wouldn't bother with the Instant Pot though, I have a huge stock pot that will hold 10# of taters.  Clean them, lightly peel to remove bad spots, cut into quarters, boil, drain, and mash.  Once they're cool you can either spoon them into freezer bags or plastic containers for the deep freeze.

I have it on good authority, that if you eat fifty onions you will blow out your sphincter.

Quarter, add butter and some Montreal seasoning (or if you don't have that then salt, black pepper, and garlic), reassemble and wrap in foil...bbq over a wood fire until the potatoes are fully cooked and starting to brown nicely around the outside.  Yellow potatoes are best...if russet, cut each in half first and then quarter each half...  Onions can be cooked the same way (sweet onions are best for this).  Serve with melted colby cheese (or even better the costco mexican blend).  We usually BBQ brats, pork loin, or tri-tip as the main course once the potatoes come off the grill.

Carmelized onions, giant batches. Freeze it in portions big enough to make a pot of french onion soup, and smaller portions for use as a topping.

Make a few of these, keep reusing the oil

Get through a bunch, then store the rest in the fridge so it lasts for a little while longer

Put them in a cool dark place.  Dark as in zero light. They will last for a few months if done right.  You may not make it through all of the onions, but you can eat most of the potatoes.  We buy a couple 50 lb bags of potatoes every fall to use through winter.

Dice the onions, vacuum seal them, and freeze them.  Use them within a year.

About a handle and a half.  Or just a handle if maximizing quality.  The yield for potatoes is quite low.

Go get the Jars, lids and rings and can them..  You will have potatos for 3 to 4 years.  Dont waste that food.  It will give you guys a good project to do while in isolation. Plus you will learn a valuble skill.

I hear a pot of tater soup will last almost indefinitely if you keep adding whale semen to it.

shepherds pies you can freeze and then cook from frozen as needed.  and if by chance some of this stuff won't be able to be used, run it down to a local for pantry.  your family and neighbors might be good, but someone would surely love it.  best of luck

Latkes, aka potato pancakes.  

BTW, since everyone is in hunker down mode and all... I recommend saving any rendered animal fat (bacon/snausage grease, hamburger grease), particularly if you like many people and don't have a stash of cooking fat in your house.

Makes for great latkes.

1 bag each.

They have been sitting on the floor of my garage the last three days.
No one around here is short of food, I just don't want to go to the grocery store for a while (Wuhan Flu vector)
I was already pretty stocked up, but wanted to top things off.


I have a family of four.  Going to take a while to eat through them.  Ideas?

Store was the local Cash and Carry
each bag was less than $15.
I also got a 25 pounds of ground beef, a25 pound bag of long grain brown  rice, 5 pound bag of jalapenos, 5 pound bag of little sweet peppers.
