How do I know when Chlada Khodra is done?

Can I freeze Chlada Khodra?

It is not a good candidate. The base of Chlada Khodra is potatoes, which holds up: it keeps three to four days refrigerated and tastes better after a few hours, once the dressing has soaked in. Hold back a spoonful of dressing to freshen it before serving. It does not freeze.
