Yep Quorn chilli, the chicken curry from the SW mag, Pasta sauces and even jackets with lush fillings, all freeze well.

Get some chicken fillets ( or turkey) split them making a pocket

Mix up a oinion, peppers, and garlic, mixed herbs. cut up a baby bell into little pieces and stuff the pocket , wrap a slice of lean unsmoked or smoked bacon ( trim off all fat)and pin together with a cocktail stick.

You can freeze these to reheat or defrost and have cold with as mixed salad

the only thing I would say about freezing potato dishes is don't keep them for too long as freezin potato makes it go a bit sweet flavoured.
