  • Where did you find your plastic canvas?

  • @chippy2758 You can buy it at any craft store. It is meant for needlepoint and I think it costs around 50 cents per sheet.

  • Can the skins be left on?

  • @dakotapreacher I wouldn't leave the skins on because I know that when it comes to canning potatoes they say you shouldn't can them with the skins on because potatoes are grown in the ground where bacteria exists.  The bacteria can get embedded in the skins and can't always be scrubbed off, especially around the eyes. I'd think the same would be true when it comes to dehydrating them.

  • Sorry, I have another question. How do you rehydrate the shredded potatoes for the hash browns?

  • @mosiersue100 I put them in a pan of water and simmer for about 5 minutes. Drain then fry until very lightly browned.

  • hello i just had a question about a video you had posted a while back about canning potatoes for french fries , did you remove the video or am i just over looking it , i can't seem to find it and wanted to watch it again . I just came into 150 lbs of russet potatoes and wanted to can some on them like you did for french fries but couldnt remember what you did exactly in your video.

    thanks d

  • your glass cutting board is going to ruin your knife

  • @dakotapreacher Personally I think it'd be fine. The skins would first be dehydrated then if they're stored in mylar bags with an oxygen absorbers bacteria couldn't grow.

  • Great video. Thanks for the tips.

  • Excellent video! Thank you!

  • thanks for the tip i was wondering how to stop the black. i want dhydrate them and then make them into powder and so i can make mashed taters with them.

  • THANK YOU. I've tried this twice without knowing how.Didn't work

    . I've got a small batch in the dehydrator just now. Cheer for me. :)

  • great video - I have an Excalibur. My first attempt was "ok" - I should have used your idea of boiling first. I'll do it on my next batch! thanks
