Has anyone ever tried to make their own? I've wondered about this for a long time & if it's ever been done. I'm thinking for long term storage. I would think you'd have to grate the potatoes then dehydrate them and figure out how to stop them from turning brown in the meantime.

I have never tried it, but I would probably cook the mashed potatoes and then spread it out on the tray to dehydrate. That would stop the discoloration. After they were dry you could crumble them up into the flakes.

I haven't tried it either but would go the cooked route. I don't think I'd add any milk or butter before dehydrating so that they'd be shelf stable.

Good point.

Yes, I have made them: http://blog.welikemakingourownstuff.com ... s.html?m=1

Darn it! We packed up my dehydrator and I've got about 8 lbs of russets going old out in the garage.

Excellent Cal! Thanks for sharing that one. It is going into my recipe book for sure.

Thank you Cal. I've got it saved. I'm glad that includes the slices too, I wasn't even thinking about those but would be perfect for scalloped. But I do have a question.......how well do they taste & work, once rehydrated??? About the same????

Murph, hang on to the those 'old' taters. Hopefully they'll sprout, then if you have a garden in your new home you can just poke them in the ground for a crop of more taters.
