Potatoes here are often 5 pound BOGO.
To prevent spoilage I turn some into latkes or potato nik.

Rather than grating potatoes I put them through my meat grinder with a
large hole plate... fast and no bloody knuckles... grind the onion
last after draining some potato liquid. Latkes and nik freeze well. I
like potato nik cold from the fridge.
