Can I freeze rice or potato salad? If so, how

I have never had good luck freezing potatoes. Once thawed, they fall apart and get mealy.

I'm not a fan of frozen rice. Rice is cheap enough and quick to cook to just prepare before eating.

Thanks for all of the replies. Will just feed it to the hogs and make fresh when thawing gumbo. Take care

I've experimented with freezing jambalaya. Always seem to make too much. The results have never been great no matter what I did differently, but the key step is thawing. Trying to heat from frozen will result in mush, but letting it thaw on its own at room temp or in the fridge if letting it sit out scares you works okay. Of course, that takes time and defeats the convenience of frozen meals.
