Ah, another opinion. Sounds like I could go either way, then. I've got a
vacuum sealer, so I could freeze them in a layer in bags, boil the bags to
thaw/heat them, and then fry them if that was the plan.

I was thinking that freezing them uncooked might give more chance that
they'd crack and then leak when I boil them later. But I wasn't sure.

Thanks for the response.
