Dehydrating Spuds

[patricimo54]

My free time is minimal and my energy is limited, but when opportunity presents its self you should capture the moment.

We found a deal on spuds, .20 a pound so we decided to put some up. We had never tried drying any up until now, but when opportunity knocks you open the door.

Our first round of about 7# fit easily into 2 quart bags.

Never tried drying them. Very interesting. I could dry some and take them when hiking ;D. Bet they would be great with fresh trout ;D Karma to you!!! Thanks.

That's cool I wonder if you could grind them in a food processor and reconstitute kind of like instant mash taters. Anyone know if that would work I planted a lot of taters this year.

I am thinking that you could re hydrate these, bring them to a boil and then mash them.

After slicing 3/16 thick I boiled them for 5 minutes, moved them to cold water. After cooling I placed them in the dehydrator for 10 hours at 130*

Very interesting Pat. I don't think I've ever heard of anyone dehydrating spuds. ;D

Cool topic. Might have to try this come harvest time

You will have to let us know how rehydrating them goes if you happen to. Would really be neat to be able to make your own semi-instant mashed potato's ;D
