Dehydrated Hash Brown Potatoes

Step 1

Wash and peel the potatoes.

Step 2

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!

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Place the potatoes in a single layer in a pan. Cover and refrigerate until completely chilled. The potatoes must be completely cold before shredding.

Step 5

Use a box grater to grate the potatoes.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Dehydrate the shredded potatoes at 125 F. degrees for 6 to 8 hours or until they are completely hard.

Step 8

Cool the hot dried potatoes completely before storing in air tight containers.

Step 9

Store in air tight containers.
