One of my favourites for YT is to saute onions. In a separate pot boil potatoes. When cooked, mash the potatoes, add the sauteed onions and season to taste. Freeze. Can be reheated from frozen or defrosted. My kids love it.
This can also be used to fill puff pastry for a potato knish - which also freezes fine (I freeze it unbaked and the defrost and bake on YT).

What are doughless knishes?

I freeze potato and potato mushroom knishes. I make them from a strudel dough, not a puff pastry dough though. Puff pastry dough I use for borekahs.

Est http://www.jewishrecipes.org/j......html - that is a knish. A boreka is usually made from puff pastry dough, flat, cut into different shapes depending on the type of filling.

knishes, I don't cut. I take a ball of dough, flatten it into a circle, put filling in the middle and the pull the sides up and pinch them together on top. Then I baste them with egg and bake.

I freeze potato kugel all the time (just undercooked slightly) and it comes out great. I fully defrost and reheat uncovered. It may not be the same as a fresh kugel straight from the oven (but even that degrades by just reheating and certainly refrigerating and then reheating), but it is excellent.

Please do -- it really works; I've been doing it for years.

It's also great turned into overnight kugel (without putting in cholent) -- just defrost, pour about half a cup of water over the kugel, seal tightly and leave overnight in a 200-degree oven.

I have found that the best way to re-heat potato kugels that have been frozen, is to take them out the freezer and put them straight in the oven for approx half an hour WITHOUT ALLOWING THEM TO DEFROST.
That way they come out the oven as freshly tasting as if they had just been prepared.
I do this even when I only need the kugels for Shabbos day - I reheat straight from the freezer, then cool off and place them on the hotplate on Friday night (on an upside down tray/pot) after the evening meal, so that the kugel reheats slowly for hours and hours. By the midday seudah it is abolutely DELICIOUS.

If I want to serve the potato kugel for Shalosh Seudos (I do that sometimes when the Shabbos days are short and we cannot have dairy) then I place it on the hotplate sometime during the morning (again - on top of an upturned pot or deep metal tray) and by shalosh seudos it's yum!
