#dehydrating #potatoes
Let's dehydrate some potatoes. In this video I explain the steps to successfully dehydrate this pantry staple.
Use dry in casseroles (Potatoes Au Gratin or Scalloped Potatoes) or soup. Pan fry after soaking 15 minutes or so.
Store vacuum sealed 3-5 years or in an airtight container up to 6 months for best flavor.

@cantthinkof123 3 года назад

I got into prepping a good while ago but only just purchased a dehydrator. Potato was one of the things I was worried about using but this video set my mind at rest. So much food goes to waste in todays society and power outs have always worried me because I got 3 kids and always panic that I won't be able to feed them. As you know spuds are a good staple in cooking and this video set my mind at rest . Even though power outs are rare here in the UK I still don't like the idea of not being ready for the unexpected. So I took the plunge and bought a little cheap machine by mister chef just to dip my toe in the water to see if its for me. So far so good . Thanks to your video I'll be trying a load of Albert bartlet potatoes today 😋. Thanks for a clear , well explained video. Love from the UK. Who would of thought somebody with a singing channel would get into prepping and home steading haha thanks again.

@randallshuck2976 3 года назад

The reason they recommend steaming is to retain the most nutrition. That is the theory. I have always blanched in water. I agree that dehydrating the frozen product is much quicker and easier. I also dehydrate frozen mixed vegetables, fresh onions, carrots, and cabbage. They all dehydrate well and rehydrate very well. My favorites to dehydrate are apples, strawberries and peaches. The apple and peach slices are generally overages from canning. They don't last very long because they are such great snacks. I store all of the standards in quart and half mason jars under vacuum. I have kept them in storage for over three years with no change in taste. They are a real help to clean out the freezer and have lots of food available if the power goes out.

@jackielowe2895 3 года назад

I dehydrated potatoes last fall from the garden in addition to those I canned. Then vacuum seal in 2 qt mason jars. So have fresh, canned and dehydrated. Also have dry homemade cream sauce ready to make.

@MichaelSHartman 3 года назад

You can steam in a spaghetti pot (pot, colander, and lid combination). Adding salt to your bowl, and keeping your potatoes in it from post peeling to blanching goes a long way in keeping them light. My Excalibur dries faster in the vertical middle, back, and top first in that order. About halfway through, I move, and turn the trays. If the pieces are large I break them from the plastic, and turn them over. The volume of chips might not be worth it, but denser packing might benefit in vacuum sealed jar with a couple of oxygen absorbers (half gallon) for long term storage. A desiccant can be made by oven drying some rice, and putting it in a porous (cloth) bag. I have stored 13 to 15 pounds of sliced potatoes per gallon.

@mssavedin92 Год назад

very good idea about the rice. I'm gonna do that. too. I'm thinking that those little see through craft bags with the draw strings could work..I can get them at the dollar store. good plan, thanks

@cabighorse 3 года назад

Beautiful bounty! When blanching potatoes, I check to make sure there is none of the raw potato color remaining. If so, blanch another minute. Any of the raw color will blacken as your potatoes dry.

Hi, can you share your opinion as to why you feel the Excalibur is worth the higher price compared to other ,more affordable machines? Lots of people say its worth it... But not why. Most brands have temp control...and rear fan. Obviously not including the economy round one temp type such as presto

@maryglidden2943 3 года назад

Does it hurt the potatoes if I over dry them. Sometimes I put something in the dehydrator and leave it over night or even forget it's on ( don't go down the basement frequently). Thank you! Just found you as I was trying to find a good French Onion soup recipe! New Subscriber!

@beverlygiroux2824 2 года назад

I just found you! I also have an Excalibur, but hardly ever use it…it’s over 7 years old! ( yes, hanging my head) Question: I live in a duplex home, there is no shed or basement or garage. Can I use the dehydrator in the kitchen? Will it be too noisy? I used to rarely use it to dehydrate banana chips, when I had my home, could use the shed back then. Thanks for all the info on this, and the scalloped potato info.

@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 2 года назад

Mine isn’t super loud so it would be fine to use in the kitchen. Maybe dehydrate at night while you’re sleeping or use a spare bedroom 😊

Hi Carol, your dehydrated potatoes look beautiful, just like store bought! Do you have any idea, say for a 5 or 10 lb bag, what the yeild is? Either finished dry weight or how much fits in a half gallon jar, or both? Looking forward to your recipes using them, thanks!

When they are cooked

@johnlea1179 Год назад

As a "first timer", I'm learning from your vids. Thanks. Question; would it hurt to "over-dehydrate" by leaving them in the dehydrator for, say, 12 hours? I may be gone, or just want to make double sure that they are dry enough not to mold upon storage.

@wow_horac4663 2 года назад

No need to purchase a "steamer." Just buy a steamer basket for 5 or 6 dollars and use the same pot you use to boil stuff. Steaming is way faster for almost everything. Since you're using so little water it comes to boil faster and most vegetables are great after 5 to 7 minutes. Just get the get the water boiling, drop in the steamer basket and dump in your vegetables. Put on the lid and 7 minutes later most vegetables are cooked without that mushiness that you get when you boil. I even do "hard boiled eggs" this way. Steam the eggs for 12 to 13 minutes, cold water bath them for 5 minutes and peal and they'll come out perfect. After getting a couple steamer baskets I've come to the opinion that everyone should really have one. They are cheap and work great for a fair number of cooking jobs.

I get five pounds in a half gallon mason jar. Just have to keep shaking and tapping jar to make them fit. Crosswise slices are easier to fit than long slices.
