I really appreciate your _why we do this_ aspect. Being very thorough is not a typical quality in a lot of videos for gardening or food prep. Especially appreciated the 'don't eat green potatoes' information; I never knew this before I began growing my own and would frequently get green potatoes in the bag from the store. [Another reason that solidified growing my own.]
Your comment was so encouraging to me. I don’t know why, but sometimes I feel self-conscious after filming about being too detailed or like I went overboard with a subject. I just sincerely want to help people learn these skills and give all the tips & tricks I can think of! I don’t want to assume that everyone watching knows “it all.” So thank you, sincerely, for taking the time to comment today. ❤️
That sounds like a great idea to add to our content calendar! In the meantime, this recipe is one of our favorite ways to use dehydrated potatoes. :) th-cam.com/video/V1lYhLaxD2k/w-d-xo.html
I very much appreciate this video. I have watched several on this topic and this is the best. We are more potato than rice folks. Thanks for all you share. ❤🥔
If you lay a wooden spoon across the top of your boiling water pot as the water bubbles and hits the spoon it pops the bubbles and it prevents the water from boiling over and making a mess.
I use the Townecraft vegetable cutter. Unfortunately, they don't make them anymore. You might be able to find one on ebay or somewhere like that. We did find a similar one on Amazon, and it is linked in the description box of this video. :)
I have a question please. Aren't the shredded potatoes cooking in the hot water? I know its not boiling but, its close to it and those potatoes are small shreds. You're not worried about all the time it takes to bring them back up to a boil is cooking them?
Yes, it will. That said, we didn’t love the texture of the sweet potato rehydrated. You might though! I recommend testing a small batch, rehydrating, and tasting before processing all 100 lbs this way. 🙂
i have a neighbor who asked if i wanted to 'go halfers' on the end of year sales of veggies - i'm probably the only vegetarian for 100 miles but 75 pounds of potatoes just for ME?? yikes! so i will dehydrating cubes, shreds, slices and instant for the next week.

I love watching and learning from your experience and knowledge. Thank you…
What an encouragement you are! Thank you ❤️
Can you make a follow-up video about how you use dehydrated potatoes (and maybe some other veggies)? Love your channel!

@@foodprepguide Thank you!
Can I ask (perhaps I missed it in the video) but why not rinse the starch off after you shredded them?
thanks for the great info! I didn't know that about blanching
Glad it was helpful! 😊
That potato shedder looks fun 🥔
It's ridiculously fun! My husband laughs at me. 😂

What manual shredder do you use?
I use the Townecraft vegetable cutter. Unfortunately, they don't make them anymore. You might be able to find one on ebay or somewhere like that. We did find a similar one on Amazon, and it is linked in the description box of this video. :)
My family used to make fun of me saying I was a poster child for “The Salad Shooter”. They aren’t laughin now. Bam, shredding done !

It's possible, but I've also never had a problem with the finished product. They rehydrate and cook up beautifully.
@@foodprepguide thank you. I need to do something with 50 pounds of potatoes and want to dehydrate some shreds.
If i made homemade fries and froze in bags do i need to blanch them?
Yes, potatoes in all preserved forms do best when blanched first. 🙂
Will this work for sweet potatoes as well? I am ready to harvest atleast 100 sweet potatoes next weekend 😊
Yes, it will. That said, we didn’t love the texture of the sweet potato rehydrated. You might though! I recommend testing a small batch, rehydrating, and tasting before processing all 100 lbs this way. 🙂
Doesn't Ascorbic Acid do the same thing, prevent the potatoes from turning brown? Works for apples.
Yes, it does. 🙂

Sounds like a great plan! If you have a pressure canner, you should try these herbed potatoes, too! th-cam.com/video/X2H4Ri0CPlg/w-d-xo.html
OMG WHERE DID U FIND SUCH BIG POT
It's a 12-quart stainless steel pot like this one 🙂 - amzn.to/4fIrzbQ
