Instructions 

  • Wash and peel the potatoes.
  • Cook the potatoes until just fork tender. Cook the potatoes in a pot of boiling water or in a pressure cooker. Do not over cook the potatoes. You want them cooked but still firm enough to hold their shape and not fall apart. Do not over cook!
  • Immediately rinse the hot potatoes under cold water. Place the warm potatoes in a bowl of cold water for about 15 minutes to bring down the internal temperature and stop the cooking.
  • Place the potatoes in a single layer in a pan. Cover and refrigerate until completely chilled. The potatoes must be completely cold before shredding.
  • Use a box grater to grate the potatoes.
  • Fill the dehydrator trays. Spread the shredded potato pieces over a dehydrator tray until the tray is full. Fill the dehydrator trays until you run out of shredded potatoes or you have reached the number of trays your dehydrator will hold. 
  • Dehydrate the shredded potatoes at 125 F. degrees for 6 to 8 hours or until they are completely hard.
  • Cool the hot dried potatoes completely before storing in air tight containers.
  • Store in air tight containers.

Recipe Expert Tips

IMPORTANT NOTES
  • Preserving vegetables, like potatoes by drying them is a great way to enjoy fresh vegetables that have been dried. Dried vegetables last much longer than fresh. Once rehydrated the dried potatoes taste just as good as fresh potatoes.
  • Cooking the potatoes before dehydrating means no blanching is required for shredded potatoes.
  • Do not over cook the potatoes. They will be too soft to shred. Under cooked potatoes are better than over cooked.
  • Chill the cooked potatoes completely before shredding or the cooked potato may fall apart when shredding.
  • Vacuum sealing the dried potatoes can extend the shelf life many years.
  • Make sure the shredded potato pieces are completely dry by squeezing the center or breading a few in half. If the pieces are not hard as a rock and soft in the center they are not dried completely.
