What can I do with raw potatoes that have accidentally been frozen for about four months?

First - do NOT thaw as this will make them unusable.
Second - you do not say what type of potato or if they are clean so if they are unwashed then scrub them while still frozen but have boiling water ready.
You can drop them in boiling water for the amount of time (keep checking) they need to cook according to the size. These can be used in many ways; mashed, hash browns/home fries, soups, stews (just remember they are already cooked).
If the size is correct, you can cook them in a 400-degree oven (frozen) for about the same length of time for an unfrozen potato. This will work and the potatoes usually turn out very well. Just remember to place something under them as they will drip and could make a mess.
Boil the potatoes in salted water, allow to cool, peel, then mash the potatoes, add 1/4 chopped onion, one beaten egg, one love minced garlic, 1/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup cornmeal, salt and pepper to taste. Form into patties and fry in saute pan in 1/2 cup pil until golden brown on each side, drain on paper towels.
I would bake them at 400 degrees F. Then put salt on them.
Do not thaw -- they'll turn out gross :o Use them for a soup or a stew!
Put the potatoes, chicken/veggie broth, and onions in a pot and stew for a few hours at a low simmer. Remove from heat, add a touch of cream, then puree. Creamy potato soup :)
Thanks! This just happened to me, a whole 5 lb. bag of white spuds left on the porch during the first freezing cold snap since last March. Creamy potato soup sounds dreamy on a bitter cold day like this. Cheers.
