Well here is my first update to those who are interested. We freeze dried some potatoes.
Below is a before and after photo from today. We are getting ready to harvest our potatoes in another couple weeks so we wanted to see how this would go before we freeze dried ALOT of potatoes. Could not have been happier. I would bet blind folded you would not have known that they were freeze dried. Been thrilled so far.
We ate a lot of (freeze?) dried potatoes in the Navy. Not only mashed, but the cooks had a hand operated machine that would extrude french fry shaped potatoes for frying. I think they just used a bit less water in the dried potatoes to make french fries.
I'll look at those, and then the more financially sensitive part of my brain throws out something else to distract the prepper oriented part of my brain. I've got a bin with a week or two of long term food (mountain house, some wise) in the basement for hurricane season.
