We have a ton of potatoes this year from the garden (first time we ever tried potatoes, and didnt water, weed or touch them... and we have TONS.. what a crop for idiots.) I am slicing and drying some for uses in home made augratin mixes... but I really want to try to figure out a way to make some potato flakes. Couldnt I just boil and drain them and mash them dry and spread that out in the oven/dehydrator and let it dry and then flake it? I tried googling a way to do it but I couldnt find anything. Any other perserving ideas on them would be nice too.
i went on yahoo and typed in... how to make potato flakes ...and it came up with some ways. one was using a food dehydrator
Chicken fruit I have canned potatoes and froze them My family loves hashbrowns for breakfast so this is what I do Wash, peel (optional) I have a french fry cutter that I use then I turn the tators around to finish dicing them up. Blanch them for 5 minutes (I think, need to double check the time) Spread them out on a tee towel that is on a big rubbermaid lid Blot all the water out bag and freeze. I have even thrown in chopped garden peppers and onions It is a little work but hey, you got hashbrowns ready to go and they are good to take camping too.
