- If you're wondering how to dehydrate sliced potatoes, this video is for you! Dehydrating potatoes for long-term storage is a big part of the plan for my prepper pantry. Dehydrated potatoes shelf life is about 5 years, when stored properly, so you can dehydrate them today and put them away for future use. If you're interested in food storage long term, dehydrated potatoes are a great addition because they can be used in so many ways. This is a great dehydrating for beginners' video because I show you each step of the process.

I like to do small cubes for using in soups, pot pies, etc.
That's what I want also. For soup.
I just used some of my dehydrated potatoes for making scallop ones, they were so good. I added garlic powder, onion powder and paprika, salt and pepper skim milk and water. They were better than making fresh. I love them. used russets.
That's awesome! Sounds delicious! I'm also glad to hear you had good results with russets.
dehydrating 2 store is an amazing book..quick tip for your new to dehydrating viewers is the first time they do sliced potatoes is " if the center of your slice comes out black is only because they were not Blanched long enough..I sell these at the farmers market an they sell like hot cakes I.do all types of potatoes also i put them in lemon water to cool down it keeps them white. Blessings
You have so many great tips! I haven't checked yet, but if you don't have a UA-cam channel, you should, because you have so many great tips! I love that you sell these at the farmers market. What ratio of lemon juice to water do you use?
Girl! Get yourself a mandolin! I have dozens of potatoes, onions, and other veg to do for a commercial dehydrator. It would take DAYS to cut but hand. At least, get a chef’s knife for cutting with less difficulty. My hands ache for yours. Great video. Thank you!
You are so sweet! I'd love to hear about the commercial dehydrator you have, and which mandolin you recommend.
Great video. I have dehydrades potatoes that I have done this way that are 12 years old and cook up fine.
That is awesome! It's amazing how long dehydrated food lasts.
Came here while searching for wafer dryer. Dried potato wafers are common in India. It's a very tasty snacks eat after frying especially on fasting day. But the processing is more refined to keep them white even after frying.
We soak washed thin potato slices 1-1.5 mm thick in 3-5 liters of water added with 1/4 teaspoon alum dissolved for over night. Then washed, drained and boiled just like as you said but added with same ammount alum, water and sufficient salt for taste. Then wafers are dried in shade then under sun for final drying. Can be stored for 2-3 years or more without degradation.
Great info! Thanks for sharing!
When i boil them I throw in garlic powder, Salt, And Liquid smoke (5 to 10 drops per cup to 2 cups) This gives them a light smoke favor You can always add the smoke after boiling ..
Sounds great! I just might give that a try the next time I make these!
I also have Russet, do try Russet potatoes as oven baked potato chips. Less starch makes them great for chips. Be sure to rinse 4-5 time before you bake so watch some youtube first.
Great Idea and it has a long life shelf this is awesome.
Yes! Very nice to have on hand. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.
Put mandolin on your Xmas wish list. Great also to use for thin homemade potato chips. Ty for this great video!
I actually do have a mandolin now, which is awesome! One thing I tried that you might want to try is I used a mandolin to very thinly slice potatoes, and then dehydrated them. (You have to blanch them first, or they turn black.) I rehydrated them and made potato chips, and there were delicious! I'm going to have to do that again. Thanks for your kind words. I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Hello! I have my dehydrator on right now and there is space! I am going to try this! Thanks
That is great! You may as well fill it up!
that's what i'm talking about scalloped potatoes 😊😊
Nicely explained.Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for your video.
I've dehydrated a lot of sliced potatoes and the "wasted" space in the glass jars I used for storage drove me nuts, ... it's the little things eh?
So I started dehydrated frozen peas to use as filler. I can get two cups of dried peas in a full Quart jar of dry sliced potatoes.
This year they will be cubed just because I have oodles of sliced.
The dehydrator is filled with a squash type pumpkin right now, ... I never heard of the thing before but I like both so why not?
Anyway, I'm stocking for a long term event, ... that being said, there's all kinds of potatoes left in the farmers fields free for the digging. It was a wet fall and they couldn't risk getting the equipment stuck so wet spots were left and now they are dry again.
I gleaned abut 200 lbs so far and that's enough for now. I want to can in quarts this fall too.
The carrot factory has bags of ugly carrots, AKA Horse carrots, for $5 a bag, ... those horses eat some good. I canned up the first bag and got the second to dehydrate.
But it's almost over, ... just the clean up left. I can get all the Pie pumpkin my little heart desires, seven so far, .. and there's still lots of beets and small turnip left too.
Have a great one and good luck.
Well, if you're eating a lot of root vegetables instead of seeds/grains for your carbohydrate, I'm sure you're feeling healthier than most.
Wow- where do you live that you can get leftover potatoes in the field for free? That's awesome.
I love my Mandaline, I really get my moneys worth out of it. Thank you so much for showing us this! I just received a brand new fancy dehydrator and havent a clue what to make in it. So I will start with these! Thanks so much for showing us how to do it!!
Glad it was helpful! I definitely need to pick up a mandolin! I'm sure you'll be a pro in no time with your dehydrator! Check out my dehydrating playlist here: ua-cam.com/play/PLwELENHXg_Z3V6qLg-gAfpNmkqB3deGee.html - I'll keep adding more to it on a regular basis.
I have that book as well and I agree that some of what I’ve done and and has been a success, is contradictory to what she says..so I use it as a guidebook when I haven’t done something before but always with a grain of salt and always use several references when available
I totally agree with you! It is a great guide, but sometimes you have to do things your own way. Me dehydrating russet potatoes is an example of that! Even though she says not to use them, they turn out great for me, and they are cheaper and more readily available, so why not?
This is so awesome. We recently got a Cosori dehydrator which is a huge upgrade from our old dehydrator. I did some beef Jerky in it and that was amazing. I might have to try the potatoes next. Take Care, God Bless and Merry Christmas!
Ed, thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment. So glad to hear that you got a new dehydrator. I've seen Cosori dehydrators, but don't know much about them. I'm glad you are enjoying yours. I love beef jerky. I do recommend potatoes as a good basic food to have on hand, because they are so versatile. I'll stop by and check out your channel to see what you've been up to. Have a great day, and Merry Christmas to you, too!
I have Cosori too...love it!
@@call_me_crazy7554 nice to know! I'll have to keep that on my radar, though I may have a hard time justifying buying yet another dehydrator, lol.
@@call_me_crazy7554, I am highly impressed with ours!
I wish I had read comments about the Cosori earlier, since I just bought another Nesco. Now I've been loving my Nesco, so I don't regret buying it, but I looked at some Cosori's but since I didn't know anyone that used one, I was hesitant to buy one. Now I just need to justify having 3 dehydrators. . . .
Thank you, God bless.
Same to you!
I need to use mine. I did a trial run, lol and need to cook with them. Super nice tutorial!
thank you for stopping by! Someone else left a comment that they have had theirs on the shelf for 12 years, and they are still fine, so you've got time. :) It will be a few weeks, but I plan to do a video on making scalloped potatoes with them.
Nice!
Thank you for this video, I'm making them today.
Great! I hope you enjoy them. I love having them in my pantry!
Another great video! I'm doing about 20# this weekend...Storing them in jars (have to do quart; can't find 1/2 gallon at the moment) and vacuum sealing as well. Excited to see your scalloped potato video when you get to it; I'm new at all of this and now have the tools to preserve the food (food saver, canner, mylar, etc)...just not the 'know how' to prepare it if/when we'll need it! It's a process and I'm learning slowly! lol
Thank you, Steffani! Isn't it fun to learn new ways to preserve food? It will be interesting to see how many jars you end up with with 20 pounds of potatoes. I'm tempted to buy a 50 lb bag. There is a store in town that currently has 50 lbs for $12.99. That seems like a good price, but I have a feeling I'd feel overwhelmed with that many potatoes. Plus, I don't know that I have room for them, even dehydrated. Hopefully you can get the half gallon jars at some point. I do like them for storing things like this that take up more space, but quarts work well also.
@@StockingMyPantry I'll let you know how many quarts I end up getting! :)
@@call_me_crazy7554 I'll look forward to finding out. I told my husband the other day that if there's ever another potato famine, we'll be in doo shape. :)
I have a old fashioned slicer but after nicking my fingers I chose to do your slicing method lol looking for a slicer that I just pull down and put my weight on it to cut thru potatos fast as my slicing wasn’t that great lol
Nice, love 🥔. ❤👵
😋 I think I'm going to really enjoy having these on hand.
I never had any like with the Dehydrator...don’t know why...tried apples, but my husband did do deer meat and it turned out ok ✅ for him...I thought it made the house smell awful! Nicely done!
Sorry to hear you haven't had luck with the dehydrator. I like mine quite a bit. If something smells bad, it's okay to put it outside. I dehydrate onions outside. The Purposeful Pantry channel just put out a video on dehydrating outside, so if you're interested in giving it another try, I'd recommend checking out her video.
Excellent as always!
Thank you! ❤
I want to try this.
I hope you do!
@@StockingMyPantry I wish I had grabbed some at the store earlier.
@@GailsSouthernLiving next time! Good news is, they do keep for awhile after you buy them, so you can buy next time you go to the store and then dehydrate them when you can. I try not to let them sit too long before dehydrating, but it's not like some things that I try to do within a day or two after buying. I'm actually in the middle of dehydrating some potato cubes right now.
I have a good mandolin …it’s so worth it.
Great idea! Happy Holidays!
Thank you! You too!
Thanks for watching! Here are the two dehydrators I personally use and recommend: amzn.to/3EJrS3i and amzn.to/3nUxX6f .
Thanks for sharing your prepper knowledge!
You're very welcome! I love your name, by the way. :)
Thank you! It is by Gods Grace that we receive blessings. Without Him, this world would be tough navigating and I certainly don’t want to do it without Him. God bless you and those who surround you!
BTW - I’m now a new subscriber to your channel and look forward to viewing more from you. On a side note, I just dehydrated 10 lbs of russets following your directions and they turned out perfectly. I also vacuum sealed them in jars and the potatoes didn’t crush. :-) Thanks again!
Happy holidays 👍
Same to you!
I did this not too long ago and really liked the results. I generally do what ever type of potato I am over stocked with. I have a mandoline when I slice them and end up with thick pieces I usually just use those for supper that night unless I have too many.I have never done sweet potatoes. Have you? If so has your experience with sweet potatoes been successful?
Janet, thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. I need to give sweet potatoes a try. I love sweet potatoes and it would sure be nice to have them on hand. I'll add that to my list and be sure to make a video when I do it. Stay tuned. :)
I would love to see a sweet potato video also. Blessings my friend ❤️
@@BootsAndBonnetWithChrisChristy got it! I'll definitely research the best way to do it and try to do it soon. I love the idea of having sweet potatoes on hand. Hope you're doing well.
I am going to try this very soon!
I hope you enjoy it!
@@StockingMyPantry I enjoyed the video, and will give the taters a try over the weekend.
@@bloominginplace4791 that's great. I'm looking forward to hearing how they work out for you!
I added lemon juice and that preservative powder in also and then drained before dehydrating.
Great idea! I'll have to give that a try.
Yes, you have to try what you like, i did not like for example dehydrated peppers, I turned them into a powder. LOL, Nice tutorial
Oh no! I had good luck with peppers, but with things like putting them in chili. I actually also did some bell peppers in strips and rehydrated them and fried them on cast iron and used in fajitas. No one realized they had been rehydrated. I also did jalapenos and they worked out okay. I think making powder is a good idea.
I may be try again next year!
Thank you very much for the video. We are going to be living the Nomadic life for about 6 months or so and I need to dehydrate some vegetables. I also want to dehydrate leeks to go with the potatoes 🥔. Do you have a recipe for dehydrated leeks?
Yeah, your potatoes look GREAT!!! Have you rehydrated them and used them in a recipe to see how they taste? TYFS 💕🌸💕
Yes, and they turned out great! Here's a video where I show how I used them in one recipe: ua-cam.com/video/8XZTSP-DtxY/v-deo.html
@@StockingMyPantry TY!!! 💕🌸💕
Very helpful. I needed to know if you vacuumed your taters. Put mine in a baggie watching to hear the answer.
I'm not 100% sure, because it was a long time ago, but I vacuum seal pretty much everything, so most likely, yes! It's not required, but never hurts.
Can you bake these as chips with some oil brushed on? Or do they need to be rehydrated in water first
I got myself a mandolin on Amazon for $24.88 I haven’t tried it yet but I’m gonna dehydrate potatoes and I was wondering can you fry the potatoes after you have dehydrated how would you fry them do they soften up all your frying or do you have to soak them Thank you for your video
That's what I wonder too
Wonderful video! Do you know about how many pounds you stared with?
How to you keep your potatoes from turning black when you can them
How long can I have these on the shelves for?
Do I put a silica gel packet inside ?
Thank you ,I have a question can I fry the dehydrate potatoes chips?
Probably but they'll be chips like lays
Can you leave the peels on?
Yes you can. I did have a problem with dehydrating cubed potatoes with peels on. They dehydrated fine, but kind of turned a yellowish color. They didn't turn black or anything really bad, but didn't look as nice as the ones I peeled. I'm not sure why. So maybe try a small amount and see how it goes for you.
Edited to add: if you do decide to leave the peels on, be sure to scrub them well before cooking and dehydrating.
I steam my taters before putting in Cosori. Don’t know if it’s better, but any feedback would be appreciated. 😊
Thanks for sharing your experience with this! I haven't tried steaming them, but I'd love to hear more about how you've done it and how it's worked for you, so please share!
@@StockingMyPantry Sure, I use golden potatoes, not that their best, just like them. I make a not so deep cut all the way around, just enough depth to cut through skin. Then blanch in boiling water for roughly 15 minutes. I place them in ice water for about 10-15 minutes, and just twist off both sides of skin. That’s the reason for the cut all the way around. I cut them into chunks because I like to use them in beef stew. I steam them for about 20-30 minutes, until my fork slides through easily. Take them out and place them on dehydrator trays. Set temp to 130-135 and dry for about 10-12 hours, maybe more, depending on how large my cuts were. Like to have something to chew on! After they are crisp and dry, where you can crack them in half and see no moisture, I let them cool down for a few, because where they’re going, you don’t want any moisture, heat, humidity. I prefer vacuum sealing with my Nesco, then let it sit on the counter for a day or two, to ensure no leakage. If all is well, I place them into a Mylar bag and then throw in a food grade bucket, which are DIY insulated to keep heat away. That’s it!
If you ground those dehydrated potatoes up, could you make mashed potatoes from the powdered remnants?
From what I've heard, home-dehydrated potatoes that you try to use as mashed potatoes turn out really gummy. So so far I haven't tried it. For mashed potatoes, I just buy potato flakes (instant potatoes) from the grocery store.

I think you would want to rehydrate it before frying.
What's a mandolin?
How do you rehydrate them?
Great question! Just pour boiling water on them and let sit for about 15 minutes. Then drain and cook in whatever way you want. Or, if you're making something soupy, you can just add them to whatever you're cooking and simmer until rehydrated.
I would think that you could even use a meat slicer to slice the potatoes evenly.
I now have a mandolin which works well, but I'll bet a meat slicer would work well also.
Great Job! next time a straight blade will help you more. I hope you follow me so I can tag your recipe.... This has helped me!
Great tip, thank you!
Dictionary.....potatoe
noun
Common misspelling of potato. You just proved we're all human and capable of mistakes.
Potatoe with the e was the proper spelling when I was in school. The rules have changed on some words and potato is one of them.
Check thrift stores for a mandolin. They have them all the time.
