I am 76 and as a back up when i cant stand i get a huge box of dehydrated potatoes from all bulk foods . This summer i plan on using your augraten mix in a large slow cooker with kilbasa.
@@JMurphy1 they supply food to restaurants and places that cook large quantities....canned and dehydrated...google them Lots of interesting products....all bulk foods
It is so easy to watch your videos and to listen to you. I appreciate your detail and pleasant presentation. Great video Just got my dehydrator from the garage and am about to enlist my husband for potato peeling. Can’t wait to try this 😍💚❤️💚❤️
I have to thank you for this excellent tutorial. I’m not going to dehydrate, going to freeze dry, but the prep should be the same. I’m 68 years old and you have proven you can teach an old dog new tricks.
@@eyes2see438 the freeze drying came out perfectly. I stored them in mason jars because I knew they wouldn’t last long, as in eating them. They rehydrate great. I made some french fries, grated for home fries and powdered for instant potatoes. What a timesaver.
@@annewade4228 Thank you! I can’t wait to freeze dry some French fries! Didn’t the fries crumble, when they come out of the freeze dryer? How think did you make the scallop potatoes 🥔? I’m just learning how to freeze dry.
For the past year you weren’t growing and now you are 18.5k! Yay! The name changed help people find you, but your content is top notch. I have been wanting to learn how to save my potatoes and make them shelf stable. I haven’t tried yet but will very soon. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I am saving this video! Hugs Jeni❤️
If I follow your directions next time, I won't have darkened slices (and, I didn't read directions) and didn't know the door had to be placed on my Excaliber. I have 30 lbs left so, try, try, again. Thank you.
Thank you for this tutorial! I have a cheaper/smaller dehydrator but I think I'm going to gift myself an Excalibur for Mother's Day. Been thinking of buying one for a while now. Thanks again and Happy Mother's Day!
I love it when creators use the little cut away, ‘A few hours later…’! So cute! Also, I have a question. Who’s the little girl at the end of your videos saying, ‘There you go.’ Again, so cute! Nice touches! Thanks for all the work you put into your videos; it shows.
Thank you! That is my granddaughter at the end. She was about three when we recorded her. She loves that btw, hearing herself at the end. She is almost 7 now. ❤
Jeni, I did dehydrate the potatoes and made the scallop recipe using your method. I was extremely happy with the way it turned out. Thank you for sharing. I think I am going to give this as Christmas presents to my children. If they don't want it, then I get it back. WIN WIN!! TODAY is the day to smile and thank God for everything you've been blessed with. (Following your journey)
In February, I think it was, I canned some potatoes in cubes. Had a bit left so dehydrated them. Paulie loved them too much as a snackie I had to vacuum seal them and put them away 😄 Dehydrated potatoes are good stuff!
Hi Jeni thank you so much for the vid. I bought a huge bag of potatoes from Costco to learn how to dehydrate this past weekend and your vid couldn’t have come at a more perfect time for me!!! I just love your channel and have been watching for about a year now. Your recipes are always so awesome too. Question , where did you purchase your large container that you have your potatoes stored in? ( the one on the left. The one on the right I gave a few already) Is it air tight? (Sorry if that’s a silly question). Thanks again, your awesome! And your taste tester is hilarious, Aka your hubby!!
🤔☝🏻I think that as long as you can temporarily remove the piece of the mandoline that guides the veggies across the blade then you can run tbe veggie acrozs the blade until you get close then use the guide and plunger handle...do this in an assembly line manner, do all you can before you need to put the rest of the mandoline back together😁👍🏻
Omg this was the best. I have the same dehydrator I got for Christmas so I will be doing this foe camping trips it’s so much lighter. I’d love to see how you rehydrate and if you can do this with cubed potatoes.🥔⛺️
You can definitely do it with cubbed potatoes as well. I show rehydrating them and making the sauce in the mixes part two video linked in the description box. 😊
I have dried potatoes for a couple years now, I guess either the soaking or the 3 min is what give you that beautiful color. I’m ready to do some more so I’m going to add these steps. I’ve blanched for 1 min, but only soak for 1 hour. These are definitely whiter than mine. Mine are pretty but not like that. Thanks for the great advice
What kind of potatoes did you use?? The only potatoes I’ve dehydrated so far is a large bag of shredded potatoes I got from the frozen food section at WalMart. Im going to add dehydrated peppers and onions to those potatoes for “ Potatoes O’Brian” Im going to dehydrate regular potatoes the way you did… with the water/lemon juice bath. Looks like another trip to the grocery store!! Thank you for the video’s!! I just found your channel a couple of days ago and have watched several already!!
I have this PC mandolin but I don't have the instructions LOL I can't remember how to use it. Great instructions on how to dehydrate potatoes. If you have a link for me to re-learn how to use my mandolin, please let me know. :-)
You can search on UA-cam for pampered chef mandoline instructions and find several videos . Also, you can google it and probably find a copy of the original instructions.
I might have missed if you said anything but is there any flavor of tartness left over from either the citric acid or lemon that you soaked the potatoes in? Never mind lol I just listened to the last 30 seconds of your video ❤️
I’ve got 20 lbs of spuds for $3.45 so what a deal and I’m not sure do you cook the spuds before there sliced to dehydrate them? I’ve no room for error at this point as prices keep going up. Love your videos 💫💕🌻
I am going to try this. I don't like potatoes that have been pressure cooked. But when you can get them in season when they are cheaper you want to be able to store them long time. Dehydration seems like a great idea. Keep up the good work. Would sweet potatoes work also?
What brand is the 8-qt food bucket that you have? I couldn't find it on Costco. Maybe having the brand name will help. (Also checked Walmart) I have a large pot but it's aluminum. Not sure I want my potatoes soaking in aluminum that long! Thanks!
I have no idea the brand name. I buy them at Costco in no packaging. The brand is not written on the bucket. They sell the same ones at restaurant supply stores and wholesale.
@@Jeni_Gough Thanks Jeni! I checked our local restaurant supply with no luck. My pots have no brand on them, so I looked it up where I bought it, and it's not aluminum - it's stainless steel, so I'll just use that. Thanks for the quick reply!
Yes. You do them the same way except cut them into 1/2 inch dices. You can even dehydrate frozen hash browns, just skip to putting those directly on the trays. 😊
Thank you so much for this video. I followed your instructions and successfully dehydrated my first batch and a half of potatoes! LOL - I blanched more slices that would fit on my trays. Was unsure of what to do with the extras but FB group told me to put the already blanched ones back in water but I was not sure. What would you have done? I was undecided for about 2 hours & checked the dehydrator & realized they had decreased in size & I could fit the extras on the trays - whew!
Do you absolutely have to peel? I love the skins and I know there are nutrients in it but I don’t know much about dehydrating/canning safety tips yet with potatoes but I’ve got a bunch in the garden I’m about to pull. ☺️ love all of your videos!
@@Jeni_Gough Jeni I think I waited for the water to boil . But any way I am going to try again . I am canning cabbage and tomatoes today. Canning the cabbage with the tomato keeps the cabbage nice and green. And yes I know you arn't suppose to can cabbage .
Thanks for this video. Now I can do my big bag of potatoes. If there's moisture after dehydrating and we put them back in, do we use the same temp?. For how long? Thanks Jeni!
Love this video, I plan to do some this weekend. I do have a question though, would you do the same process for shredded potatoes? I imagine the blanching time would be less, or am I wrong?
Jeni, I have a question, I did some potatoes, dehydrated, everything they come out nice except that they were kind of like pink around the edges and I was laying there thinking at night. Why then I figured out I forgot to put them down in the water(hot) Do you think this had something to do with it? Even when I just taste a small one it kinda has a better taste kind of please help.

glad to hear about overnight lemon soak. I'm a novice so your ideas really help.
I missed the first 2 minutes, watching the cute pupper in the background. LOL

Wrote down all your mixes and will try them all! Thank you for the dried potato DIY!

Hubby peels, I cut, I think he’s afraid if my mandolin! He’s on board with the food preservation because he likes to eat! 😁
My chickens loved potatoe peels.
Awesome thanks!

I always recycled my peelings in the compost to .
You should check out the upright Starfrit pump action mandolin 20 dollars your hands never comes close and hard veg slice amazingly
I never knew that you should wait 24 hrs before storing them. Next time I will be doing it your way. Thanks.

I like that channel too!
I'm so glad you shared this with us!

Thank you Jeni. I will give this a try! Always nice to have some available to preserve when they go on sale. Many thanks

Thank you. So helpful...

I'll have to give this one a try. Looks like it's easier than what I've been doing
Thanks Jeni, I'll be doing your method. Love to see more videos on dehydrating, it's way to save money!
It sure is! I will try to do more! 😊

This video tells you the entire process. 😊
Thanks for this video. You don’t have to blanched them?
How are you making dried cheddar cheese?
Blanching them works best and keeps them from turning bla k so yes, it is recommended to do so! I use freeze dried cheese powder.
I am new to your channel I don't have one of those fancy dehydrators could this still be done with a real basic dehydrator?
You can dehydrate in any dehydrator or even the oven. No fancy equipment needed. 😊
Do you filter the soaking water and collect/save the potato starch as well? I heard it just as good as corn starch.
I do not
Do you leave them in the dehydrator for 24 hours because it is a convenient place?
I just like to make sure they are fully dry and I live in the desert.
I am going to try this. I don't like potatoes that have been pressure cooked. But when you can get them in season when they are cheaper you want to be able to store them long time. Dehydration seems like a great idea. Keep up the good work. Would sweet potatoes work also?

I can not find your bucket at my Costo. Is it still available at yours?
Yes, at our business Costco.
My processor has a disc for slicing I’m hoping I can use that because I don’t have a mandolin.
You sure can!
Extremely helpful. How long can you store them?
Years if vacuum sealed.
Have you dehydrated diced potatoes? I'm wanting to do this in order to make mixed vegetables for soups. Can you help me?
Yes. You do them the same way except cut them into 1/2 inch dices. You can even dehydrate frozen hash browns, just skip to putting those directly on the trays. 😊
Did the 10 pounds fill up both of your dehydrator s or just one. I have a cabelas 12 tray and wondered how many potatoes would fill it
It filled one 9 tray. 15 lbs fills my 9 tray and my 5 tray. 😊
Thanks
Thank you so much for this video. I followed your instructions and successfully dehydrated my first batch and a half of potatoes! LOL - I blanched more slices that would fit on my trays.

I was undecided for about 2 hours & checked the dehydrator & realized they had decreased in size & I could fit the extras on the trays - whew!
Wonderful! Back in water! 😊
Do you absolutely have to peel? I love the skins and I know there are nutrients in it but I don’t know much about dehydrating/canning safety tips yet with potatoes but I’ve got a bunch in the garden I’m about to pull. ☺️ love all of your videos!
Thank you! You don’t have to peel for dehydrating but you do for canning. The skin holds bacteria. 😊
@@Jeni_Gough thanks!
Is that an older pampered chef slicer Jeni?
Yes it is 😊
Jeni when I boiled mine for the 3 min . there were some that just broke into pteces . Did I do something wrong?
Did you drop them in boiling water, start timer and pull them out or did you drop them in, wait for water to boil again then time 3 minutes?
@@Jeni_Gough Jeni I think I waited for the water to boil . But any way I am going to try again . I am canning cabbage and tomatoes today. Canning the cabbage with the tomato keeps the cabbage nice and green. And yes I know you arn't suppose to can cabbage .
Why do you let them sit out for 24 hours after dehydrating? I know you said it assures drying, but I think it would introduce moisture from the air.
I live in Arizona so it works for me, maybe not for someone living in humidity!
Just got an electric dryer! Yay! How long do they keep in storage? Love your show!
Years If sealed and a year or so if kept in just and airtight container. 😊
Thanks for this video. Now I can do my big bag of potatoes. If there's moisture after dehydrating and we put them back in, do we use the same temp?. For how long? Thanks Jeni!
Same temp for a few hours. After that, let them set for another 24 hours before you put them in a jar. 😊
Thanks, can't wait to make them, and I already shared with my sister.
How thick do you slice your potatoes?
1/4 to 1/2 inch
Love this video, I plan to do some this weekend. I do have a question though, would you do the same process for shredded potatoes? I imagine the blanching time would be less, or am I wrong?

We're these russets or gold potatoes. Does it make a difference which kind you use?
Russets. It makes no difference. 😊
