Homemade Potato Flakes • Dehydrating & Vacuum Sealing

Very nice an informative review.I never tried this method but will follow your directions.Thanks for sharing

thanks for all that nice and well described info

After peeling which you’re doing the right way. I cut them in half length wise then use a mandolin slice 1/8 inch and blanch them, drain them then dehydrate them. You got dehydrated potato flakes. All your flakes will have the same consistency. Then vacuum seal in a mason jar.

Very interesting. I have a new Casori and am just learning to dehydrate. Thanks for clear instructions. I’ve subbed! 💕

Great video! One tip for you. Take a coffee filter and cut a round out to put inside your attachment. It will prevent powders from being sucked up into your machine.

Thank you for making this. I have been thinking about how to do this.

Sounds crazy, but if you place a wooden spoon across your pot, it will prevent boiling overflowing 😊.
Thanks for great video!

Store bought potato flakes do not hold a candle to homemade. Go organic if possible!

Thank you for the valuable tip. You have a lovely voice... The background music, while nice in it's own place, is distracting/competing from/with your perfectly awesome voice. You don't need the background music because your voice is blessed.

Very informative

Thank you so much for this video, I’ve got 100 lbs of potatoes to do and I’m definitely gonna try some like this. 🙏🏼❤️

where do u get your desicant packets, sorry about the spelling?

Thanks for the video

Awesome video!! Just what I was looking for!! Thank you! 😊

Is this really any cheaper than buying Idaho potato flakes? My time is worth something too….

Those vintage pots are precious. I have some utensils that are hand me downs and I love them!!!

I’m loving the jazzy music!!! Relaxing!

I would have enjoyed the video if it weren't for the background music. For me it was very distracting.

Very cool!! Gonna have to try it! 😊

This would be awesome to add to soups!!

no one shows them rehydrated for mashed potatoes so I do not know how much to make for one person or more.

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for providing the rehydration ratio. THANKS !

this looks really practical and yummy. I was thinking of finding something similar to make gratins with them. i like prep that makes cooking quick, convenient with a long shelf life. did you consider steaming the potatoes instead? I was thinking maybe if they stay a bit firmer we could slice them in slightly bigger chunks almost like shredding chunks, it would cook back and give chunky texture in the dish i think, and it could maybe keep longer and be more versatile.

can it be fried after dehydrated and can it be packed for sales?

Great tips, I make these also

Where do you get the packs to keep moisture out?

Great video. I've seen a lot of people explain how if you slice your raw potatoes and dehydrate them they turn a very ugly black, because of the excess starch and you need to steam them or cook them to get rid of the excess starch. This was a great video. Thank you for posting it and not telling us all how Jesus is our savior etc. When I watch people cook or prepare food, I don't feel I need to be preached to, unless you want to preach about how wonderful the meal tastes and how much money I saved. I recently bought a bunch of commercially prepared dried foods, I purchased 'Mac & Cheese powder - the yellow powdered cheese', onions flakes, sour cream, butter, honey. I have to wash out my mason jars and vacuum the air out of them for long term storage and also to parcel them up and the containers are kind of large. Especially the butter. It seems I go from having plenty of butter to having none, just when I need some, so I thought, even if the butter is a little weird from being powdered and rehydrated, in cooking it won't make a bit of difference, or even spread on toast under jelly or preserves.

I find they don’t rehydrate well

Thank you for such a great video. I live in Ontario Canada. I can only find potato flakes with chemicals in them at one place. This is fantastic.

Where did you buy the stainless steel funnel you used on the pint jars of the potato flakes

Take 5 whole potatoes and put them in the refrigerator and let him get cold then Adam to the water boy alone and it set them off to the side let him cool then slice them 1/4 of an inch and later mon the sheets and dry them you can use them for scalloped potatoes and for potato dishes that you add potatoes to when your bacon casseroles

Thanks for the video.....I wish you would of re-hydrated some so we can see the reconstituted product. You are correct pulling the peeler towards you is slower than peeling away. Why people do it that way is beyond me. There is one thing that comes through in this video and that is you have the ability to use Logic which many people struggle with.

I wonder if you would get a flakier result, more like commercially produced potato flakes, if you made your base with much more water and strained very thin layers over silkscreen, the way handmade paper is laid. It probably doesn't make much of a difference once everything is reconstituted and recooked, but thinner flakes would surely be quicker to reconstitute and save on cooking fuel. Another option might be to fully powder the final product, but that might make a weird texture when reconstituted.

Do you HAVE to boil them first? Is it possible to dehydrate them whole and then grind them up? That’s just what assumed I was gonna see. I like the video and the channel but at 1/8 thick, this seems like you’ll be dehydrating for a a week to get a box of instant mashed potatoes.

This video was made before I even knew there were such videos! Glad I looked back and found out how to dehydrate potatoes!!

I highly recommend put vegetable scraps in the freezer for a easy veggie broth

Thank you!

Thank you for explaining the milk situation to me 4 videos to try and find that out.

Dont throw put your peels! You can deep fry them, season them, and top them with mozza, pop them in the oven long enough to melt the cheese, and dip them in sour cream. Its great!

4/20... lol

I posted the name of your video because I had so much interest when I posted my results. You’ll likely get lots of traffic because of it. Thank you for your great video! Congratulations!

Well done thank you for sharing! A great way to store and save space.

You made a giant Pringle potato chip!👍

😂😂😂 I love it, my mom had a pot, that size, with no handle! Used to ask her, many times, why do you use it? Her reply was I like it! Now that she's passed away, I'm using the same pot!!😂❤

I am a new subscriber, thank you for the video

Excellent video!

I always freeze the liquids left after boiling vegetables and use them later for soups and gravies. The vitamins from the veggies are in that water, so it's a shame to dump them out. You can turn them into vegetable broth and add a bouillon cube to them for extra flavor.

It's likely that the pot you're using was a double boiler insert, as I have one just like it. Thus, no handles! That pot would be set inside a slightly larger one for melting chocolate squares, etc.
