Prepper's Pantry: Hash Brown Potatoes Featuring Honeyville Potato Shreds

Greetings! Today I am going to show you how to make hash brown potatoes the easy way, with dehydrated potatoes. These are from Honeyville grains. I have recently purchased some long term food storage items to keep and I am trying to learn how to use them so what better than to take you along for the ride. These potato shreds are relatively inexpensive, you could even dehydrate your own by using frozen hash browns. In any case, these potatoes are around 50.00 for a case of six number ten cans of these shreds. They will keep unopened for upwards of ten years and six months after the can has been opened. They are canned with oxygen absorbers within to maintain freshness. Here is what you will need to make these hash browns:

2 cups of dehydrated potato shreds
Hot water to cover
1/2 Cup dehydrated onions
Hot water to cover
2 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying
salt and pepper to taste

Place potato shreds in a bowl and cover with hot water. I use water that has been run through the coffee maker. In a separate bowl, do the same with the onions. You will need to wait at least 15 minutes for re-hydration to occur. Drain the potatoes but do not rinse. You may or may not need to drain the onions, this will be up to you depending on how much water may be left in the bowl. I did not drain mine.

Heat oil in a heavy skillet and then add the potatoes and the onions. Cook as you would fresh hash browns. Make them as crispy as you would like and season to taste. One warning, I over salted mine. next time I will make sure to taste the potato shreds before I cook them to see if they are salty prior to cooking. Other than that, these were wonderful and I can see many applications for them in your regular every day cooking. Remember store what you eat and eat what you store.

I also would like to point out that this is a great item to have on hand if you should just not want to have the potatoes fresh on hand or in your freezer. In the event of an emergency I want to be able to feed my family what they love because we will already be facing lots of other stress and food should be a no brainer.

I hope that you will consider starting a food storage, even by just purchasing a few extra cans when doing your regular shopping you will be surprised at how quickly you can get started without even trying!

Until next time, See Ya!

why use dried patatoe im mexican and we do everything freshly becuase its healthier then those preserved dried patatoes we buy peel and shred and wash them its better cheaper and it tastes better try it

@Sargentsullivan1000 I think you are missing the point. I do make hash browns from fresh potatoes. However, these potatoes are for long term food storage. I have a food storage for emergency situations or in the event that hyper inflation sets in and we are unable to afford such niceties as has browns. This has nothing to do with not using fresh food. BTW, there is no nutritional difference between the fresh and the dehydrated and there is not cost difference, pound for pound. Research.

do you think the honeyville #10 cans are a good value? 1.25 lbs of dehydrated potatoes must be the equivalent of what...10lbs of fresh potatoes? I want to store potatoes but want to get the best bang for my buck...long term. 10 year shelf life is good. Is there a better option?

[atticus9799]

@thenodnarb Yes, there is a better value, but it requires a bit of work. I am doing this now. Get yourself a good dehydrator. Buy frozen hash browns and stick them right on the trays frozen and let them dehydrate. This eliminates a step of having to actually "check" or place the raw potato in boiling water for a few seconds prior to the dehydration process. The freezing process has already done that for you. Get the hash browns on sale and you will have lots of hash browns stored up

i dont understand why Americans (at least i think it is Americans) put fruit, pancakes, waffles jelly (or i think it is jello in your case) on the same plate.
