At the end of every gardening season, I am left with more potatoes then I know what to do with. Have no fear! Freeze Dried Potatoes are a WINNER🏆 Freeze Dried Potatoes not only freeze dry raw, but you can do freeze dried potato salad (don't use Mayo in it!), freeze dried mashed potatoes and gravy and freeze dried scalloped potatoes (I also threw in my own recipe). I went 4 for 4 on this video, which doesn't always happen. Potatoes are a great food to put into food storage for preppers, homesteaders and gardeners!

I would start with the parchment and then the silicone mats to see how that goes as some of the other vendors don't offer those items for their machine.

If i still had the old software in my older model it would have been even longer. I think one of the big differences is the guts of the new one. It gets much colder. It was -70 today.

Interesting video. I'm surprised the potato salad turned out well for you. I tried it and I thought the texture was terrible. I haven't tried raw potatoes yet, but I'll put that on the list to do. Mashed potatoes have been awesome for me. Scalloped potatoes were so-so, but your idea of crisping them in the air fryer (or maybe an oven since I don't have an air fryer) is intriguing. Thanks for sharing!

I am second guessing my results a little. I feel like the potato salad was not a fair assumption since it was only 95% done. The texture was complete for me, but i'm not sure that long term storage would work. The need for substituting mayo for yogurt or avocado is definitely a must. I may have to make a redemption video in the future for the tater salad.

Also, when you purchase a frozen dinner, for example a Hungry Man... it will have 3 departments or so. Can I use one of these trays to put on the tray and make an entire meal at once? I know these are pretty basic questions... sorry about that. Thank you again.

Thank you Brian - Very good show today and really good results. I had to laugh a bit when you commented about using a cutting board. I have to admit I did mention it on your last video. Good job today. I know it's an extra step but I like to throw my blanched vegetables in an ice bath to stop the cooking. It helps them stay a little crisper. Not sure what kind of potato salad you used. I would be concerned with ones that had a Mayo base. I don't think Mayo freeze dries well. Am I wrong about that? Today as a mater of fact I plan to cook up 10 pounds of potato's and pass them through my ricer then freeze dry them. I've never done it this way before. But I think they will be great. A few weeks ago I did a gallon of lean sausage gravy that turned out nicely. One experiment I want to try is making up a cheese sauce and powder it. It would be good on vegetables I think. I'll start with just a quart and if it goes like I think, I'll make a gallon. Thank you for all your work - you have the best information about freeze drying on the web.

Yes you want it away from where you sleep. Not only is it loud, it puts off some heat. Also, you'll need a dedicated 20 amp circuit & a 20 amp plug for the large freeze dryer (most house circuits are 15 amp & have 15 amp plugs). You can put a 20 amp breaker on the circuit you'll be using, switch out the plug where you'll have your machine, then just make sure nothing else is running on that circuit while you're freeze drying

Boil the raw potatoes and use a ricer, then freeze dry. Best ever result.

I.m doing potatoes today plus some pickled jalapeno slices, I did thin sliced and waffle cut potatoes and blanched them, this is my first real batch and I may have doe it wrong I'll see, I cut off all the extra freeze time and dry time I pre fropze everything the way the owners manuals says to do. I didn't pile my thin cut potatoes as high as it looked like you did yours, I'll try doing more per tray next time . the machine did not give me the option of pre frozen or unfrozen I don't know why, I will have to call Harvest Right and see if they eliminated that with the new software. Thanks

Maybe for the scalloped potatoes if you had just freeze dried the raw potato slices, and then used them to make scalloped taters. Then just used the cream to rehydrate the potatoes by sitting a few minutes before cooking.

do you recommend pre freezing? it seems i read somewhere in the harvest right manual not to pre freeze.

That's so funny because I noticed you didn't use a cutting board on your last vid. It took some restraint not to comment lol.

I've taken foods out that I wasn't sure if they were completely done. I saw you add more dry time after the process was done. My screen just goes back to "start or customize". How do you add time once you have opened the valve and released pressure?

Don’t tap on done . Just release the valve then open the door check the items . The screen should give the option more dry, press close valve and it gives two hrs more, or press up button to add more time than two hours. Check out school reports on how to tell if done
