No Potato


These are the potato flakes I made a few weeks ago. I first made mashed potatoes, spread them in a thin layer and then dehydrated them. After that I put them in a blender to make them into the flakes you see here.

Just a couple days ago I discovered a little passage in the dehydrating book noting that butter and oil cannot be dried. And milk cannot be home-dried. After a little research on the World Wide Web, I confirmed this nugget of information to be true; to dry potatoes, they must be potatoes that are mashed, not mashed potatoes. Maybe that explains why the potato flakes have been smelling increasingly like candy???

Sad, but good to know.
