Ingredients
- Frozen Potatoes O'Brien
Instructions
- Pull frozen potatoes out of the freezer. There is no need to thaw. If they are in a clump, just bang the bag on the counter once or twice.
- Open the bag.
- Pour onto dehydrator trays lined with mesh or parchment paper.
- Place into the dehydrator at 125°C/52°C or greater.
- Dehydrate for 8-15 hours until fully dry. They should sound hollow when dropped onto a hard surface and shatter when crushed.
- Condition for 5-7 days. Meaning place into a jar, shake for 5 days or so to make sure potatoes aren't sticking together or getting soft (if so, throw them back into dehydrator).
- Store in an airtight container for up to 4-5 years.
Rehydrate
- Soak in a jar of water for 1-2 hours. Rinse, pat dry, and cook as normal.Throw into a soup and let simmer for an hour or so.
- Or, throw into a soup and let simmer for an hour or so.
Notes
Once rehydrated, make sure to pat dry if you want to try a breakfast hashbrowns dish in the skillet. But for soups, you can just toss in and let rehydrate and cook while your soup simmers. I've also throw them into a casserole with other vegetables for things like Shepherd's Pie.
