How to Make Instant Mashed Potatoes - Dehydrating & Storing Homemade Potato Flakes

I've made a couple cooking videos in the past using my DIY potato flakes, but I realized I'd never actually shown how I make them. So in today's video, we're taking a pile of fresh potatoes and processing them down into a jar of shelf-stable dehydrated potato flakes. Just add some of these flakes to boiling water and simmer for a few minutes. Add your favorite seasonings, cream, butter, or whatever you like. ------------------------------ Stuff used in this video: Excalibur 3900B Food Dehydrator https://amzn.to/2WEURiD FoodSaver FM2000 Vacuum Sealer Machine https://amzn.to/2uGdlmY Mason Jar Attachment for Vacuum Sealer https://amzn.to/2HUKfIY Food Processor https://amzn.to/3H84oHS ------------------------------ 00:00 - Intro 00:41 - Fresh Potatoes 01:42 - Cutting & Shredding 02:55 - Boiling & Straining 04:03 - Whipping Potatoes 04:53 - Dehydrator Trays 07:11 - Dehydrating 08:28 - Dried Potatoes 09:40 - Making Flakes 11:41 - Mason Jar Storage 11:40 - Outro ------------------------------ The Great Lakes Prepping and Great Lakes Kitchen Channel shares our knowledge and experiences relating to all things prepping, cooking, outdoors, and everything DIY.
